Hybrid Construction Machine

Abstract

A hybrid construction machine comprises: a motor generator (2) which exchanges torque with an engine (1); a hydraulic pump (3) which is driven by at least one of the engine and the motor generator; a hydraulic actuator (5) which is driven by hydraulic fluid delivered from the hydraulic pump; an electrical storage device (10) for supplying electric power to the motor generator; and a controller (8) which sets target power of the engine and target power of the motor generator so as to satisfy demanded power of the hydraulic pump. The controller makes the setting so that the target power of the engine monotonically increases with the decrease in the remaining electric amount of the electrical storage device. With this configuration, the operator's operational feel can be kept excellent while also achieving reduction in fuel consumption and gas emission.
