Power supply apparatus for vehicle

1. A power supply apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

first and second power storage devices provided electrically in parallel to a main load;

a first power converter provided between said first power storage device and said main load;

a second power converter provided between said second power storage device and said main load;

a third power converter receiving a current divided from a path connecting said first power converter and said first power storage device;

an auxiliary load driven by power from said third power converter; and

a controller controlling said first to third power converters, wherein

said controller determines charging/discharging currents for said first and second power storage devices reflecting variations in a current flowing through said auxiliary load to control said first power converter and/or second power converter such that the determined currents are charged/discharged.

2. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a battery charger for charging said first and second power storage devices by power received from a source external to the vehicle, wherein

said battery charger is connected to said first power storage device, and

said first and second power converters divide part of a current received from said battery charger to operate as another battery charger charging said second power storage device.

3. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising a current sensor detecting the charging/discharging current for said first power storage device, wherein

said controller suspends said third power converter temporarily to calculate a current divided toward said third power converter based on the difference in the charging/discharging current for said first power storage device before and after the suspension, and corrects an operation of said first and second power converters based on said divided current.

4. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein

said first power converter boosts a voltage from said first power storage device toward said main load during charging from the source external to the vehicle, and

said second power converter operates such that a constant current flows from said main load toward said second power storage device during charging from the source external to the vehicle.

5. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said controller calculates a current divided from a path connecting said first power converter and said first power storage device toward said third power converter when said controller assumes that power consumption in the auxiliary load has been varied.

6. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein said controller assumes that power consumption in said auxiliary load has been varied at every elapse of a predetermined time.

7. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein said controller assumes that power consumption in said auxiliary load has been varied when a difference between a state of charge of said first power storage device and a state of charge of said second power storage device exceeds a predetermined value.

8. The power supply apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein said controller calculates a state of charge of said first power storage device and a state of charge of said second power storage device to control said first to third power converters such that a difference between a state of charge of said first power storage device and a state of charge of said second power storage device is not increased.
