Abstract

A battery current limiter and current-limiting method for a battery system and an electric motor in a hybrid automotive vehicle powertrain. The battery current limiter monitors measured battery current and torque commands. A modified current is developed to take a predetermined current margin into account. The modified current reduces battery current in a closed loop fashion simultaneously with a reduction in commanded torque by a feed-forward torque value.
