<span lang="EN-US">Many researches have been dedicated to develop the induction motor drive control strategy used on the railway traction applications. In this paper we propose to investigate and to improve the electric locomotives by using a Field Oriented Control (FOC) strategy of induction motor drive. This induction motor can be powered by a five-stage neutral point inverter controlled by sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) due to good quality for output voltage and The use of fast switches. Both conventional and improved locomotives are simulated in Matlab/Simulink and compared in open loop conditions   and closed loop conditions using IP controller, in term of torque response, current harmonic distortions and rotor speed response.</span>

<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, we focus on the modeling and control of a wind power system based on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). We proposed a technique of control strategies to have the maximum power from wind turbine (WT). This study deals with the problem of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based on Takagi Sugeno fuzzy model. The stability analysis is achieved. The gains of the designed controller are calculated by solving Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI). Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed method.  </span>

This paper presents a contribution for detailed comparison between two control strategies for Induction Machine (IM) drives: Direct Field-Oriented control (DFOC) and Direct Torque Control (DTC). The performances of those two control schemes are evaluated and compared by simulation in terms of torque and current ripples, transient response and sensitivity to machine parameters.
