Claim Text:
1. A power generation control apparatus that is applied to a hybrid vehicle including: an internal combustion engine; an output member to which torque output from the internal combustion engine is transmitted and which is connected to a drive wheel to be capable of power transmission; a motor provided to be capable of applying torque output thereby to the internal combustion engine; a generator connected to the output member; and a battery that is electrically connected respectively to the motor and the generator, and that executes regenerative power generation using the generator when the output member is driven to rotate by power input from the drive wheel, the power generation control apparatus comprising: a power generation amount increasing unit that, when the regenerative power generation is underway and the internal combustion engine is operative, controls the internal combustion engine and the motor respectively such that the output torque output from the internal combustion engine is increased above idling torque output from the internal combustion engine during an idling operation by the torque applied thereto from the motor, and increases a power generation amount of the generator such that the torque transmitted to the output member from the internal combustion engine is not applied to the drive wheel, wherein the hybrid vehicle is provided with a rotating electric machine including:
