A controller of a hybrid system including an internal combustion engine and a motor generator connected to each other via a belt includes processing circuitry configured to execute a power generation process that applies a load to the engine by controlling the motor generator to generate power when a first execution condition of an idling stop is satisfied, a slip rate calculation process that calculates a slip rate of the belt based on a rotational speed of the engine and a rotational speed of the motor generator while the power generation process is being executed, a determination process that determines whether or not a second execution condition of the idling stop is satisfied after waiting until a predetermined period elapses, when the slip rate is equal to or more than a threshold, and an idling stop process, when determining that the second execution condition is satisfied.

Controller of hybrid system

A basic regeneration completion pressure difference value is set based on a predicted deposition amount of incombustible deposits produced steadily on a particulate filter, and a corrected regeneration completion pressure difference value higher than the basic regeneration completion pressure difference value is set based on a deposition amount of incombustible deposits deposited unsteadily on the particulate filter. After regeneration processing starts, when a time for which a pressure difference value is maintained to be equal to or greater than the basic regeneration completion pressure difference value after decreasing to the corrected regeneration completion pressure difference value exceeds a prescribed regeneration completion time, the regeneration processing ends.
