GENERATOR CONTROL METHOD AND GENERATOR CONTROL DEVICE

Provided is a generator control method for controlling a generator driven by an engine via a crankshaft of the engine. In this generator control method, it is determined whether the engine stops, and when it is determined that the engine stops, the generator is operated to adjust a crank position of the crankshaft to a prescribed target stop position. It is also determined whether a cylinder internal pressure of the engine is equal to or greater than a prescribed threshold, and when the cylinder internal pressure is equal to or greater than the threshold, the operation on the generator is continued to maintain the crank position at the target stop position.
