Abstract
A method for controlling a hybrid power plant of a vehicle provided with a heat engine and at least one electrical unit comprising an electric machine, an electrical energy source, and a power management unit, the heat engine and the at least one electric machine being mechanically connected to input shafts of a gearbox. After acquiring parameters of the at least one electrical unit, and receiving a mechanical power requirement of the vehicle, a usable electrical power that can be used by the electrical unit and at least one operating setpoint of the electrical unit are determined as a function of the parameters and the mechanical power requirement. Finally, the heat engine and the electrical unit are controlled as a function of the at least one operating setpoint in order to meet the mechanical power requirement.
