Abstract
A control device for a hybrid vehicle includes an engine operating point setting device, a coolant temperature prediction device, a battery state-of-charge prediction device, and a determination device. The determination device determines whether an amount of heat of coolant is short or excess based on coolant temperature predicted by the coolant temperature prediction device and determines whether an amount of charge of a battery is short or excess based on SOC of the battery predicted by the battery state-of-charge prediction device. When at least one of the amount of heat and the amount of charge is short or excess as a result of the determination by the determination device, the engine operating point setting device sets an engine operating point, which is shifted in a direction to eliminate the shortage or the excess.
