The present invention relates to a power generation control apparatus for a
hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle comprises an engine which outputs a
driving force for the hybrid vehicle; a motor which outputs an assistant
driving force so as to assist the driving force of the engine; a power
storage unit; and a power generation control apparatus which controls the
power generation by the motor. The power generation control apparatus
comprises a load torque calculation device which calculates the load
torque to be applied to an engine of the hybrid vehicle for generating
electrical power used in the hybrid vehicle when the engine is idling; a
generable torque calculation device which calculates torque generable by
the engine when the engine is idling; and a power generation load torque
determination device which determines a limiting value of a power
generation load torque to be applied to the engine in accordance with the
load torque calculated by the load torque calculation device and the
generable torque calculated by the generable torque calculation device.
