A power supply control apparatus for controlling an electric generator of
a vehicle limits the rate of change of a power supply voltage to a
predetermined variation rate range, when the change is caused by
operations to control the charge condition of the vehicle battery, and
controls the generated power to match the drive torque applied by the
engine to the generator. When the electrical load demand changes, the
generated power is controlled to limit a resultant momentary change in
the power supply voltage caused by an engine response delay, while
minimizing a resultant momentary amount of engine speed variation.
