POWER GENERATION CONTROLLER OF AN AIRCRAFT

A power generation controller of an aircraft includes a low-temperature start-up control section and a power generation control section. When it is determined that an oil temperature of a hydraulic actuator configured to change an operation position of a speed change element of a hydraulic transmission satisfies a predetermined low-temperature condition when starting up an aircraft engine, the low-temperature start-up control section sets a power generator to a power non-generating state and controls the hydraulic actuator such that the speed change element is positioned at an acceleration side of a median in a speed change range. When it is determined that the oil temperature satisfies a predetermined low-temperature start-up completion condition, the power generation control section sets the power generator to a power generating state and controls the hydraulic actuator in accordance with a rotational frequency of the aircraft engine.
