System and method for energy rate balancing in hybrid automatic transmissions
A hybrid system includes a transmission control module, a power source, a transmission, and a drive train. The transmission control module partially operates the hybrid system and receives operating information from various components of the system, calculates power losses in the drive train, and calculates the driving torque needed to reach a target power profile determined from a driver's input.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND ENGINE CLUTCH TOUCHPOINT LEARNING METHOD THEREFOR
In a hybrid electric vehicle and a touchpoint learning method therefor, while a motor is driven, an engagement oil pressure of an engine clutch is adjusted step-by-step, to learn a touchpoint, thereby reducing touchpoint learning time and improving learning accuracy. The touchpoint learning method may include: determining whether a touchpoint learning entry condition previously set is satisfied or not; controlling a first motor connected to one end of an engine clutch to be in a stopped state when the learning entry condition is satisfied; maintaining a second motor connected to the other end of the engine clutch at a preset speed; changing an engagement oil pressure of the engine clutch step-by-step; and learning a touchpoint of the engine clutch based on a torque change of the second motor.

Control device for vehicle
Provided is a control device for a vehicle including a continuously variable transmission. The control device includes a lock-up clutch, an oil pump, an electric motor, and a device control unit. The lock-up clutch is disposed in a torque converter coupled to the engine and switchable between an engaged state and a released state. The oil pump is driven by the engine and supplies a hydraulic oil to the continuously variable transmission. The electric motor is coupled to the engine and controlled to be in a powering state in which the engine is rotationally driven. The device control unit controls the lock-up clutch to put into the released state and controls the electric motor to put into the powering state if a discharge pressure of the oil pump falls below a threshold value at the time of a vehicle deceleration in which a fuel supply to the engine is cut off.
CONTROL DEVICE
A control device that includes an electronic control unit that is configured to: detect an actual current value flowing through the solenoid valve; receive a current command value and the actual current value detected and generate a primary command voltage value while feeding back the current command value on the basis of the actual current value; calculate a dither command voltage value to cause a periodic voltage oscillation; filter the actual current value detected to remove a frequency corresponding to a period of the dither command voltage value and output the filtered actual current value; generate a secondary command voltage value by superimposing the dither command voltage value generated on the primary command voltage value generated; convert the secondary command voltage value generated into a PWM signal; and generate, on the basis of the PWM signal generated, an application voltage to be applied to the solenoid valve.

Control system for hybrid vehicle
A control system for hybrid vehicles that ensures high motor power while limiting damage on a planetary gear unit is provided. In a planetary gear unit, a sun gear is connected to a first motor, a ring gear is connected to a second motor, and a carrier is connected to an engine. An operating mode of the hybrid vehicle can be selected from a hybrid mode, a single-motor mode, and a dual-motor mode. The control system is configured to shift the operating mode to the hybrid mode if an estimated temperature of the pinion gear is higher than a threshold temperature, and to the single-motor mode if the estimated temperature of the pinion gear is lower than a threshold temperature.
