This paper proposes a cooperative game-based actuator fault-tolerant control strategy for a four-wheel independent drive electric vehicle with an active front steering system. For achieving fault-tolerant control and targets cooperation, a two-dimensional game strategy is proposed to balance the stability and economy. The first-dimensional game is utilized to determine the dominant control target of the actuator, then the second-dimensional game is employed to assign the fault-tolerant control task for the remaining healthy actuators. The two dimensions are integrated based on the linear quadratic differential game theory, and a hybrid weighted Pareto frontier is thus established. A Shapley value based weight calculation method is proposed to obtain a set of fair and unique weights according to the importance of each player, which makes the solution of the optimal control problem more easily obtained. The effectiveness and real-time performance of the control strategy are tested under different scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can balance the stability and economy well, outperforms the traditional method in terms of target tracking performance. For special case, the response of the yaw rate could be improved up to 39.83% comparing to that of the linear quadratic regulator method.

Multi-phase motors and generators are regarded with great fault tolerance capability, especially on open-circuit faults. Various mathematics analytical methods are applied for their fault control. In this paper, a fault-tolerant control strategy with asymmetric phase current for the open-circuit faults with arbitrary phases in the six-phase PMSM (six-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor, 6P-PMSM) system, is proposed for better electrical and dynamical performance of the machine. An innovative mathematical model for PMSM under one to four-phase-open circuit faults are established considering the asymmetry of the machine. Combining with time-varying relations in machines’ working conditions, targeted decoupling transformation matrixes of every kind of open-circuit faults are settled by voltage equations under different faults. Modified control strategy with a connection between the neutral point and the inverter’s DC side is presented, which aims at increasing the system redundancy and reducing the amplitude of phase currents. Besides, improved control loops with two layers are put forward as well, with which the PMSM system acquires fewer harmonics in phase current and smoother electromagnetic torque. Simulation and experimental results of open-circuit faults are provided for verification of the theoretical analysis.
