The GS 450h that went on sale in 2006 uses a more powerful motor equipped with a new transmission called Two-stage motor speed reduction device to achieve superlative power performance. However, the increase in motor power meant that new technologies had to be developed to stabilize the system. This paper describes a high-speed power balance control technology that maintains a stable power balance even when the motor speed fluctuates sharply due to tire slippage or other factors, as well as a control technology that maintains a stable power balance even as the motor speed changes continuously during shifting.

The Rx400h, which was put on the market in 2005, realized overwhelming power performance with the adoption of a high-voltage system, high-power output motor, and 3-motor type 4WD. Toyota has been working on a solution to increase the output power of the motor, i.e., the development of system stabilization technology. This paper introduces high-speed power balance control, which keeps the balance of power constant regardless of rapid changes in the number of motor rotations resulting from slipping tires or other factors, along with sensor error compensation control, which suppresses cyclic power fluctuation resulting from errors in the position sensor of the motor.
