Abstract

The present invention provides a method of compensating for auxiliary loads of a hybrid vehicle, which divides the auxiliary loads into a mechanical auxiliary load and an electrical auxiliary load and performs an appropriate auxiliary load compensation according to the kind of auxiliary loads, thus improving system efficiency as well as power performance of the vehicle.

Claims (12)

1. A method for compensating for auxiliary loads in a hybrid vehicle, the method comprising:

dividing, by a control unit, the auxiliary loads in the hybrid vehicle into a mechanical auxiliary load and an electrical auxiliary load to perform an auxiliary load compensation, in which a first control value for power control of an engine and a motor and a second control value for charge/discharge control of a battery are compensated based on auxiliary load amounts of the divided mechanical auxiliary load and electrical auxiliary load, respectively.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mechanical auxiliary load is compensated by compensating a driver demand power based on the auxiliary load amount.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the driver demand power is increased based on the auxiliary load amount.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electrical auxiliary load is compensated by compensating a battery charge/discharge limiting value based on the auxiliary load amount.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a battery charge limiting value is increased and a battery discharge limiting value is reduced based on the auxiliary load amount.

6. A system comprising:

a control unit in a hybrid vehicle configured to monitor and divide a plurality of auxiliary loads in the hybrid vehicle into mechanical auxiliary loads and electrical auxiliary loads and perform an auxiliary load compensation, in which a first control value for power control of an engine and a motor, and a second control value for charge/discharge control of a battery, are compensated based on auxiliary load amounts of the divided mechanical auxiliary loads and electrical auxiliary loads, respectively.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the mechanical auxiliary loads are compensated by compensating a driver demand power based on the auxiliary load amount.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the driver demand power is increased based on the auxiliary load amount.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the electrical auxiliary load is compensated by compensating a battery charge/discharge limiting value based on the auxiliary load amount.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein a battery charge limiting value is increased and a battery discharge limiting value is reduced based on the auxiliary load amount.
