This paper presents a fault tolerant control (FTC) design for polytopic uncertain linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems. Depending on the information available about the fault, the FTC strategy could be passive FTC, active FTC without controller reconfiguration or active FTC with controller reconfiguration. The FTC strategy is designed taking into account the robust LPV polytopic framework extending known results from the robust polytopic and the traditional LPV polytopic control areas. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by its application to a two-tank system simulator.
