The invention discloses a power generation control method for an extended-range
electric vehicle. The power generation control method includes acquiring generated power of the integral vehicle and dissolving the generated power of the integral vehicle into a target rotation speed and target torque; controlling a power generator to start a rotation speed mode according to the target rotation speed and simultaneously controlling an engine to output
constant torque; acquiring the rotation speed of the power generator in real time, and controlling the engine to output the target torque when the rotation speed of the power generator reaches the target rotation speed; controlling the engine and the power generator to stop running when a situation that the quantity of
electricity of a
power battery meets preset conditions or the
power battery is charged by an external power source is detected. The invention further discloses the extended-range
electric vehicle and a
vehicle control unit and a power generation
control system of the extended-range
electric vehicle. The power generation control method, the extended-range electric vehicle, the
vehicle control unit and the power generation
control system have the advantages that the rotation speed of the power generator is controlled in a closed-loop manner by the power generation control method, so that power generation of the extended-range electric vehicle is controlled, the problem of
slow response speed of an existing engine is solved, and problems of high generated
power fluctuation and low economical efficiency and stability of an existing integral vehicle due to closed-
loop control for the rotation speed of the existing engine are solved.
