Control apparatus for hybrid construction machine
A control apparatus for a hybrid construction machine includes an engine, a motor generator driven by the engine and capable of generating electric power, a hydraulic pump driven by total torque of the engine and the motor generator, a power storage device, an inverter, a filter that collects a particulate material in exhaust gas of the engine, and a control section outputting a command signal for controlling powering operation or regeneration operation of the motor generator. The control apparatus further includes a powering operation limitation section that inputs thereto an ordinary torque command calculated by a torque command value calculation section and a demand signal for regeneration of the filter decided by a filter regeneration decision section and calculates the command signal in response to the input signals. When a filter regeneration demand signal is available, a command signal for limiting the powering operation of the motor generator is calculated.

Automobile equipped with three-phase motor
With a motor in rotation, 0 is set as each of a d-axis current command and a q-axis current command, and offset learning is carried out. Then, in carrying out offset learning, a transmission is controlled such that a shift stage of the transmission falls within a low vehicle speed-side predetermined shift stage range. Thus, the rotational speed of the motor can be more reliably made high to a certain extent, and offset learning can be carried out. As a result, the accuracy of offset learning can be restrained from decreasing.
