Driving device

A driving device comprising:

• a motor;
• a power storage device;
• first and second boost converters configured to exchange power by voltage conversion between a voltage on a power storage device side and a voltage on a motor side;
• and
• an electronic control unit configured to control one of the first and second boost converters by voltage control such that the voltage on the motor side becomes close to a target voltage within an allowable range of the one boost converter and to control the other of the first and second boost converters by power control such that power exchanged between the power storage device side and the motor side through the other boost converter becomes close to target power within an allowable range of the other boost converter, wherein:
• the electronic control unit is configured to stop driving of the other boost converter when the target power is within a predetermined range including a value zero to limit the allowable ranges of the first and second boost converters more when heat stress cumulative values of the first and second boost converters are equal to or greater than a first threshold value, than when the heat stress cumulative values of the first and second boost converters are less than the first threshold value;
• the electronic control unit is configured to execute a first control mode in which the first boost converter is controlled by the voltage control and the second boost converter is controlled by the power control when first conditions are satisfied in which the heat stress cumulative value of the second boost converter is equal to or greater than a second threshold value that is less than the first threshold value and the heat stress cumulative value of the first boost converter is less than a third threshold value that is equal to or less than the second threshold value;
• and
• the electronic control unit is configured to execute a second control mode in which the first boost converter is controlled by the power control and the second boost converter is controlled by the voltage control when second conditions are satisfied in which the heat stress cumulative value of the first boost converter is equal to or greater than the second threshold value and the heat stress cumulative value of the second boost converter is less than the third threshold value.
