Abstract:
1. A control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle comprising: an engine and a motor generator installed in the vehicle as a power source of the vehicle; an electric power storage unit that exchanges an electric power with the motor generator; a rate-of-change setting unit that sets, in a predetermined update cycle, a fuel consumption change rate representing a rate of change of a fuel consumption by the engine against a difference between an output power of the engine and a drive power of the vehicle; and a power adjustment amount setting unit that sets, based on the fuel consumption change rate and a target drive power of the vehicle, an engine output power increase/decrease amount that minimizes the fuel consumption by the engine while controlling, for a preset period, an electrical charge-discharge energy balance of the electric power storage unit to have a predetermined value.
