A method for the fault-tolerant vector control of star-connected 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) drive systems based on Field-Oriented Control (FOC) is proposed in this paper. This method enables the control of a 3-phase IM in the presence of an open-phase failure in one of its phases without the need for control structure changes to the conventional FOC algorithm. The proposed drive system significantly reduces the speed and torque pulsations caused by an open-phase fault in the stator windings. The performance of the proposed method was verified using MATLAB (M-File) simulation as well experimental tests on a 1.5kW 3-phase IM drive system. This paper experimentally compares the operation of the proposed fault-tolerant vector controller and a conventional vector controller during open-phase fault.

This paper discusses a simple vector control technique for vector control of faulty 3-phase Induction Motor (3-phase IM under open-phase fault) based on Rotor FluxOriented Control (RFOC). It is shown in the adapted system for vector control of the faulty IM, it is essential for the speed PI controller coefficients to modify. For this reason, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed for tuning of speed PI controller. The results of this study show that the proposed drive system have acceptable good speed and torque responses.
