Abstract:
1. A control system for controlling a vehicle which has an engine for driving at least one of wheels thereof and a motor for driving at least one of the rest of the wheels thereof, the control system comprising: a motor generator configured to be driven by the engine for generating first alternating-current power at first voltage; an inverter which converts the first alternating-current power to second power at second voltage lower than the first voltage; a first battery to be charged with the second power supplied from the inverter; a capacitor device connected to the inverter, and a rectifier circuit which rectifies the first alternating-current power to third direct-current power at third voltage, wherein the motor is supplied with the third direct-current power, and the inverter is supplied with fourth power at fourth voltage discharged from the capacitor device and converts the fourth power to fifth alternating-current power at fifth voltage, and the motor generator is supplied with the fifth alternating-current power and generates driving force for starting the engine.
