A power generation control device enables to conduct appropriate charge
control and load limitations even if a technique (charge control
technique) for restricting power generation by a generator in an
accelerating state of a movable body is adopted in a movable body such as
a vehicle in which a technique (load limiting technique) for imposing
limitations on a power supply when a quantity of suppliable electricity
decreased has been adopted. The power generation control device for
controlling a generator for a movable body which stores electric power in
a battery comprises a unit for restricting power generation by the
generator based on a battery suppliable current which can be taken out of
the battery, a quantity of electricity generated by the generator, an
essential supply current consumed by an electric load to which electric
power must be supplied and a load working current consumed by an electric
load which does not necessarily require a power supply.
