Abstract
Disclosed is a control apparatus for an electric power generation system. The electric power generation system is configured to generate electric power and thereby charge a secondary battery that is an electric power source of a motor included in an electric drive system. The electric drive system further includes an inverter circuit for driving the motor and a power transmission unit for transmitting electric power from the secondary battery to the inverter circuit. The control apparatus includes a temperature acquisition unit and a power generation control unit. The temperature acquisition unit is configured to acquire a temperature of the power transmission unit. The power generation control unit is configured to control the electric power generation system to generate electric power and thereby charge the secondary battery when the temperature of the power transmission unit acquired by the temperature acquisition unit is higher than or equal to a predetermined threshold temperature.
