Abstract
Provided is a power-generation control device capable of appropriately using a drive belt looped around a power generator and an internal-combustion engine mounted on a vehicle. The device monitors a difference between an actual generated current of a rotating electrical machine and an estimated generated current estimated from estimated power-generation torque for controlling power generation of the rotating electrical machine, which corresponds to a power-generation torque command, or the like. When a difference equal to or more than a predetermined value occurs between the actual and the estimated generated currents, the power-generation control device limits the estimated power-generation torque so as to be reduced, and further limits the estimated power-generation torque with use of learning limiting power-generation torque calculated based on the estimated power-generation torque at a time when the difference has occurred between the actual generated current and the estimated generated current.
