Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a control system for a hybrid excavator including an engine, a hydraulic pump driven by the engine to drive a hydraulic actuator by hydraulic fluid, a generator driven by the engine to generate electric energy, and an energy storage device charging the electric energy generated by the generator and supplying the electric energy to an electric actuator, the control system comprising: a required torque detection means for detecting a torque that is required to drive the hydraulic pump; a charge amount detection means for detecting a charge rate (or charge amount) of the electric energy storage device; a memory storing a generation degree (or generation amount) in accordance with the torque and the charge rate (or charge amount); and a hybrid control means for controlling the generator in accordance with the torque value detected by the required torque detection means and the generation amount in a memory means that corresponds to the charge rate value (or charge amount) detected by the charge amount detection means. According to the control system, the fuel efficiency is optimized by driving the electric generator attached to the engine based on the required torque of the hydraulic pump and the preset generation amount value corresponding to the SOC (State Of Charge).
