A power control system for a hybrid vehicle is provided. The system includes a high-voltage battery that is capable of being charged or discharged, a first motor and a second motor, a first inverter connected to the first motor, and a second inverter connected to the second motor. Additionally, a converter has a first side connected to the battery and a second side connected in parallel to the first inverter and the second inverter and a diode is connected in parallel to both sides of the converter. A controller is configured to operate the converter and the first and second inverters to cause electric power of the high-voltage battery to be bypassed via the diode and directly supplied to the first inverter or the second inverter.

A planetary gear train transmission device of a hybrid vehicle is provided, which belongs to the technical field of transmissions. A transmission device of a hybrid vehicle based on a planetary gear train, which has a simple structure and is convenient to maintain is provided. The transmission device is composed of two motors, two clutches, one simple planetary gear train, and one complex planetary gear train. One motor is mainly used for generating power, and the other motor is used for driving the vehicle to move forward and brake to recover energy.

To arrange a power unit, an electric power conversion unit, and engine-related components compactly, a drive motor, a reduction drive, a generator, and an engine body are integrally arranged in this order in a vehicle width direction of a power unit compartment such that respective heights thereof are substantially the same. An electric power conversion unit, in which a motor inverter, an electric power generation inverter, and a DC/DC converter are integrated, is arranged above the drive motor, the reduction drive, and the generator. Engine-related components such as a low-voltage battery, an air cleaner, and an oil filter are arranged above the engine body.

An electrically-driven vehicle includes a high-capacity battery unit and a high-output battery unit, both of which supply electric power to rotating electric machines, and a charging inlet serving as a charging port of an external power supply. The high-capacity battery unit receives more charge power from the charging inlet than the high-output battery unit and is positioned nearer to the charging inlet than the high-output battery unit is to the charging inlet. In this way, an electric power loss increase caused by a wiring resistance during an external charge can be suppressed in a plug-in type electrically-driven vehicle, which is chargeable by an external power supply.
