Estimating the term…
The invention concerns a method for adjusting the electric power distribution in a direct voltage supply circuit (2) in a motor vehicle, e.g. a hybrid-powered vehicle comprising an electric generator set (1) and one or several electric elements (3, 6, 7, 8) capable of consuming and/or producing power in the supply circuit, one of said electric elements being an electric driving set (3) capable of driving the driving wheels (4) of the vehicle. The power of the generator set is adjusted on the basis of a power demand given by the driver. One (3, 7) of said electric elements is defined as a power balancing element. A desired voltage (U.sub.0c) of the supply circuit is determined, the effective voltage (U.sub.0) of said circuit is continuously monitored, and the power of the balancing element is adjusted so as to maintain the effective voltage at the level of the desired voltage.
A method for adjusting the electric power distribution in a direct voltage supply circuit in a motor vehicle comprising several electric elements capable of consuming and/or producing power in said supply circuit, one of said electric elements being an electric driving set capable of driving at least one driving wheel of the vehicle, comprising the steps of:
A motor vehicle driving system comprising several electric elements capable of consuming and/or producing power in the supply circuit, one of said elements being an adjustable electric driving set capable of driving at least one driving wheel of the vehicle, and control means arranged for controlling the power of one of said electric elements, defined as a power balancing element, which exchanges a second power with the supply circuit, said control means being arranged so as to constinously monitor an effective supply circuit voltage, wherein said control means comprise an electronic adjustment unit associated with the balancing element and arranged for adjusting the power of the latter on the basis of a desired voltage defined by the control means, so as to maintain said effective voltage at the level of said desired voltage.
