Improved Scoring Methods for Unbalanced Athletic Conferences

چکیده
There are many examples of athletic Cup competitions in which groups of high schools or colleges compete against each other in multiple sports. Typically points are awarded for performances in each sport, and the school with the most points at the end of the season wins the Cup. In this paper we analyze the scoring system of the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools Headmaster’s Cup, and show that the current system strongly favors larger schools that are able to field teams in many sports. We describe the sources of bias in the scoring system and propose an alternative method of scoring. The revised scoring system is designed to “level the playing field” with regards to school size, and is shown to consistently reward schools that both perform well in the sports in which they participate and have a high participation rate relative to the size of their student body. The methods

Sliding-Mode-based Improved Direct Active and Reactive Power Control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator under Unbalanced Grid Voltage Condition
This paper proposes an improved direct active and reactive power control (DPC) strategy for a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind-turbine system under unbalanced grid voltage condition. The method produces required rotor voltage references based on the sliding mode control (SMC) approach in stationary reference frame, without the requirement of synchronous coordinate...
