DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING BATTERY CHARGE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING CAR BATTERY CHARGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01M10/44 B60L11/18 B60W10/04 B60W10/26 B60W20/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: control device has a unit for detecting current location, a unit for establishing the control region, a unit for detecting road information, an energy estimating unit, a maximum/minimum selecting unit, a unit for calculating target control values, a unit for calculating the interval for controlling battery energy, a unit for changing the control region and a charge control unit. The control method involves detecting the current location of the vehicle, establishing the region for controlling battery energy using the current location, detecting the travelled route in the region for controlling battery energy, estimating energy based on the current location, selecting the maximum and minimum values of energy for movement, calculating the upper limiting and lower limiting values for controlling battery energy based on the maximum and minimum values of energy, calculating the interval for controlling battery energy, changing the control region and controlling the electric power generator.

EFFECT: high efficiency of controlling battery charge.
