PHEV CD Method for Controlling Engine Power during CD Mode Heating of PHEV

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for optimally controlling engine power when an engine operates for heating in a charge depleting (CD) mode of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). According to the present invention, in a method for controlling engine power during CD mode heating of a PHEV, engine power is controlled according to an amount of heat of an engine required for heating determined using a level of an air-conditioning blower at a point in time at which an operation of the engine starts, an outdoor air temperature, and a coolant temperature, if a full automatic temperature controller (FATC) operates the engine for heating when the vehicle is driven in a CD mode.
