Abstract
An emergency operation method of a hybrid vehicle, which includes an engine, a first motor connected to the engine through an engine clutch and transmitting power to a vehicle wheel, and a second motor connected with the engine to directly transmit power, includes charging a DC-link terminal with a first counter electromotive force of the first motor and the second motor generated by driving energy of the vehicle or power from the engine when a main relay is off while the vehicle travels. A voltage of the DC-link terminal is controlled by using a second inverter which is connected between the DC-link terminal and the second motor in a driving state of the engine. Power is supplied by using the DC-link terminal, of which the voltage is controlled, for an emergency operation of the vehicle.
