Abstract

A turbo lag boost compensation method is provided, including: calculate a theoretically required boost torque Ts; compare the theoretically required boost torque Ts with the maximum output torque Tpmax of a P 2 motor; when Ts≥Tpmax, a required output boost torque Ts′ is equal to Tpmax; when Ts<Tpmax, the required output boost torque Ts′ is equal to Ts; determine whether a turbo lag boost timing is activated; if yes, output the required output boost torque Ts′; and if not, the boost torque is zero. Also provided are a turbo lag boost compensation apparatus, a turbo lag boost compensation device, a hybrid power vehicle, and a storage medium. The present invention effectively solves adverse effects such as a slow torque response and a sudden torque change caused by a turbo lag on an entire vehicle, and improves the drivability and power of the entire vehicle.
