Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To respond to the fact that a battery may limit the maximum discharge power for various reasons, in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with engine start/stop capability. SOLUTION: A method and system 24 of engine start/stop control for the HEV 10 monitors the battery 16 and requests a specific engine state based on condition of the battery. A battery parameter such as discharge power limit (DPL) or state of charge (SOC) is compared with a set of threshold levels including a MIN level, an ON level, and an OFF level and the result of the comparison provides inputs to a state machine. The state machine includes an ON state, an OFF state and a OPPORTUNISTIC state. The machine shifts between the various states as a function of DPL and SOC relative to the sets of threshold levels.
