Abstract

An alternator control system controls a field current passing an alternator so as to regulate a terminal voltage of a vehicle battery to a target voltage, based on a deviation of the terminal voltage from the target voltage, by feedback control. The field current is corrected based on a delay in current generation of the alternator.
