Method for controlling EOP of hybrid vehicle
A method for controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) of a hybrid vehicle may include determining whether or not the hybrid vehicle is in a decelerating situation in an EV mode, driving the EOP at an RPM at a point L, corresponding to a minimum RPM of the EOP to form a target line pressure of a transmission, upon determining that the hybrid vehicle is decelerating in the EV mode, determining whether or not an RPM of a turbine is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference RPM, and driving the EOP at an RPM acquired by adding a predetermined additional RPM to secure an additional flow rate of automatic transmission fluid supplied to a balance chamber of an engine clutch to the RPM at the point L, upon determining that the RPM of the turbine is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference RPM.
METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN FOR A WORKING MACHINE, ELECTRIC DRIVETRAIN FOR A WORKING MACHINE, AND WORKING MACHINE
A method for operating an electric drivetrain of a working machine is provided wherein the drivetrain comprises a work drive with an electric work motor and a travel drive with an electric travel motor and vehicle wheels, wherein the working machine experiences a speed deceleration from the outside that may result in a braking force acting on the vehicle wheels lower than a driving force acting on the vehicle wheels due to a moment of inertia of the travel motor. The method includes supplying the travel motor with a power in a direction opposite to an operating direction of the travel motor in order to reduce a rotational speed of the travel motor, if it is detected in advance using a situation detection that the braking force acting on the vehicle wheels as a result of the speed deceleration is lower than the driving force acting on the vehicle wheels.

ELECTRIC MOVABLE BODY
An electric movable body includes a plurality of motors and a plurality of batteries, among which the motors and the batteries are connected such that each of the batteries supplies electric power to a motor set driving separate output shafts. When an abnormal motor that has been determined as abnormal is in a drive state, by switching the abnormal motor to a stop state, and switching one of the motors driving the output shaft driven by the abnormal motor and in the stop state to the drive state, the electric movable body assigns the drive state or the stop state to a motor set including the abnormal motor and to a motor set including the switched motor, for driving each of the output shafts by at least one motor and for supplying electric power from each of the batteries to at least one motor.
