Abstract:
1. A power-generation control apparatus, for an in-vehicle electric rotating machine, that controls a power-generation amount of the in-vehicle electric rotating machine coupled with an internal combustion engine, the power-generation control apparatus comprising: a generated-voltage command unit that generates a generated-voltage command value for the in-vehicle electric rotating machine; a generated-voltage command storage unit that stores the generated-voltage command value generated by the generated-voltage command unit; and a power-generation amount suppression determination unit that determines whether or not to change a power-generation amount suppression level for suppressing the power-generation amount, based on at least one of a present generation-voltage command value generated by the generated-voltage command unit and a generated-voltage past command value based on a past generated-voltage command value stored in the generated-voltage command storage unit.
