Abstract:
A power output apparatus for outputting power to a drive shaft, said power output apparatus, comprising:an engine having an output shaft;energy adjustment means having a first shaft connected with said output shaft of said engine and a second shaft connected with said drive shaft, said energy adjustment means adjusting a difference in energy between power one of input into and output from said first shaft and power one of input into and output from said second shaft by regulating input and output of corresponding electrical energy;a drive motor, wherein power is transmitted between said drive motor and said drive shaft;target power setting means for setting a target power output to said drive shaft;driving state setting means for setting a target driving state of said engine that outputs energy corresponding to the target power set by said target power setting means, based on a predetermined condition; andcontrol means for controlling said engine, so as to enable said engine to be driven in the target driving state set by said driving state setting means, and for controlling said energy adjustment means and said drive motor, so as to enable power output from said engine to be subjected to torque conversion and output as the target power to said drive shaft.
