A system for controlling engine revolutions for a hybrid construction machine, including an engine, a hydraulic pump which is driven by the engine to drive a hydraulic actuator with discharged hydraulic fluid, a motor-generator which is driven by the engine to generate electricity and to drive the hydraulic pump as a motor supplementing the engine, and an energy storage device which is charged with electric energy generated by the motor-generator and which supplies the electric energy for motor operation of the motor-generator, the system comprising:
- a torque detection means for detecting an output torque of the hydraulic pump that is required to drive the hydraulic actuator;
- and
- hybrid control means for receiving feedback from the torque detection means and for determining from the feedback if a change of output torque of the hydraulic pump exceeds a predetermined level that will cause an unwanted drop in revolution of the engine to occur and, if so, for controlling the motor-generator to supplement output of the engine to prevent the drop.
