Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling optimization of a charging amount of a battery for a vehicle charged with external power includes: a map storage, a position detector, and a controller to control the map storage and the position detector. The controller acquires a current position of the vehicle when a driver's desired charging setting value is input, acquires altitude information of topography corresponding to a driving path, calculates a gain charging amount in an uphill or downhill section on the driving path based on the altitude information, calculates an optimum charging setting value based on the driver's desired charging setting value and the gain charging amount, calculates a final target charging amount based on the optimum charging setting value and a current residual charging amount, and performs optimum charging of the battery.
Abstract:
A method and system for controlling a low-voltage DC/DC converter (LDC) of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes performing a trial starting comprising steps of: trying ignition start, performing an immobilizer authentication process, and turning on a main relay of a high-voltage battery. The LDC is controlled after the trial starting, so that an operating voltage is applied from the LDC to an electric load including various kinds of controllers, thereby allowing starting of the HEV.
