Robust Feedback Control for the Subsidy Policy about Plug‐In Electric Vehicle Using Sliding Mode Control

Abstract

This paper deals with robust feedback control for the subsidy policy for the purchase of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) and the business model of charging stands. The controlled model has three characteristics: (1) A public institution builds the charge stands.(2) The break-even point is calculated by thinking about the maintenance cost and running cost. (3) The set value for the number of EV deployed is given. However, the model has uncertainties of parameters, is altered by the influence of the economy, and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to apply robust control logic that overcomes the uncertainties of the model. We propose that the practice of the subsidy policy is regulated by feedback control. As the control logic, we use sliding mode control. The simulation results show the advantages to a person planning an EV purchase and to the charge stand manager, and demonstrate that sliding mode control is a control logic that is effective in the social model.

Robust Control Solutions for Electric Vehicle Promotion Including Charging Infrastructure Development

“…To examine the performance of the fuzzy logic control the root mean squared error (RMSE) of deflection e over ten years is shown in Table 3. In the table comparison between the proposed fuzzy logic and conventional PID control [15] is shown. As observed by the amount of adjustment, a large subsidy is given in the initial period, and the smaller amount is given later on.…”

Research on competition and investment strategy of electric vehicle charging and replacement mode

“…Gnann et al (2015) [5] and Rijnsoevre et al (2013) [6] respectively studied the impact of German policies and Dutch subsidy policies on the promotion, application and industrial development of new energy vehicles. Sakamot et al (2016) [7] theoretically analyzed the impact of fiscal subsidies provided by the government on the adoption of new energy vehicles, and believed that fiscal subsidy policies were conducive to the popularization of new energy vehicles. Hao et al (2014) [8] studied the issue of subsidies for new energy vehicles in China, proposed the basic principle of government subsidies in two stages, and estimated the impact of subsidy policies on the promotion of new energy vehicles.…”
