The model is applied only in the second half of the season to permit adequate current season data to be available for the statistical model to exploit. The experiment on its own was therefore unconvincing as a formal test of efficiency but it would be interesting if it were to be implemented for a longer period. It would also be of interest to compare returns from a less restrictive strategy that incorporated risk-neutrality in the bettor’s utility function. It is a common finding in the study of sports and non-sports prediction markets that betting odds better forecast events than experts or statistical models.

The focus of this section is drawn general conclusions about how customers respond to prices they pay for grid-supplied electricity, and how they have responded to the opportunity to produce their own electricity through rooftop PV. The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. In a previous post, we looked at the Moving Annual Total (MAT) as a simple, powerful way of eliminating seasonality within a 12 month period to enable the underlying trend of a data series to be discovered. MAT credit is the difference between the tax the company pays under MAT and the regular tax. This MAT credit is allowed a carry forward for a period of 15 financial years. Under existing rules, book profit is calculated as per Section 115JB of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Besides, in order to develop effective detection algorithm, it is of significance to know the arc fault characteristics and mechanisms. Since carrying out field test is more difficult, costly, time-consuming, and not exhaustive, precisely modeling arc faults becomes more critical. Therefore, the different type of DC arc fault models and their capability for PV systems application are presented and compared in this paper. Furthermore, the development trend of detection methods in PV systems is discussed at the end. Whereas promoters of harm reduction maintain their advocacy (HRI, 2022), the global number of psychoactive drug users is continues to grow (UNODC, 2022c,d).

The total value of a variable, such as sales figures for a product, over the course of the previous 12 months. This is a rolling yearly sum, so changes at the end of each month with data from the new month added to the total and data from the first month of the period taken away. With the development of technology and increasing concern of pollution on the environment, renewable energies come into the stage of the world in order to gradually substitute traditional fossil fuels, and solar energy is one of them. For example, Australia currently has 5920 MW installed solar power with 771 MW installed in the previous 12 months, and there are 4762 MW either under construction or will start construction in 2017 [1]. Solar power development is increasing throughout the world, and residential rooftop solar panels or grid-connected PV generation would play an important role to support main loads and micro-grids.

Evidence to support the third observation (the installation of PV was proportionately the highest in households most likely to value it) can be found in the proportionate uptake of rooftop solar in each of 10 socioeconomic deciles (as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics). In each of these deciles the median value of the houses with rooftop PV (by scraping data from real estate websites using the household address) was established. This shows that proportionate rooftop PV uptake is inversely related to socioeconomic decile and property value. This is consistent with a hypothesis that those most likely to value the benefit from rooftop PV are also those most likely to have invested in rooftop PV. Households in SA, which has the highest grid prices, use proportionately more of the solar PV that is produced on their roofs than households elsewhere.

How do you pass accounting entry for MAT credit?

But this is usually explained by the fact that closing odds reflect diverse information from large numbers of participants, induced by the prospect of financial gain to reveal their assessment of a future event. However, soccer betting is different because odds do not change as new money arrives in the market. The accuracy of odds here depends solely on the expertise of odds-setters. Nevertheless, the standard result roughly holds (employment of statistical modeling does not yield reliable positive returns), presumably because bookmakers have a sufficiently strong financial incentive to gather and process information accurately into the odds they post.

There are of course many factors that are likely to affect the way that customers respond to time-varying prices. Customers were encouraged to use the Government’s price comparison site through the payment of $50 if they consulted the site, although they were not required moving annual total to upload their bills in order to receive the payment. Customers who had uploaded their bills agreed that the anonymized data from their bills could be used for research. A running total in Excel (also known as cumulative sum) refers to the partial sum of a data set.

The implication is that bookmaker odds do not depart from efficient odds by a sufficient amount to allow informed bettors to overcome transactions costs. Moving annual total (MAT) is the total value of a variable, such as sales figures for a product, over the course of the previous 12 months. This is a rolling yearly sum, so it changes at the end of each month with data from the new month added to the total and data from the first month of the period taken away. Since this is a MAT, compensate for the seasonal fluctuation, and the sales figures for the future years can be predicted more accurately. Since this looks like the letter Z of the English alphabet, it is called the Z chart, as explained in Chapter 8, Fundamentals of statistics—part I, on statistics (Fig. 11.1). There is no control on either peak or off-peak rates and the 19 different retailers in our sample charged a wide range of peak and off-peak rates.

Victoria’s households have smaller PV systems than in other states. This is consistent with its relatively lower variable grid charges in Victoria, the lower grid purchases, and poorer solar radiance in Victoria. While Australia’s governments have recently introduced a variety of regulatory changes to improve customers’ engagement with retail markets, the evidence of their difficulty in successfully engaging in grid-supplied markets will impact their relative perception of the value from BTM alternatives.

The increasing amount of photovoltaic (PV) systems and DC voltage level has a high potential of creating DC arc faults (utility-scaled PV solar farms typically produce voltage between 600 and 1000 V, and typical building PV systems produce voltage between 120 and 600 V in the USA) [2,3]. Because the deterioration of cables, connectors, conductors, and other system components caused by long-time weathering and aging effect, without adequate scheduled maintenance, the possibility of DC arc occurrence is sharply going up in PV systems [4]. Our solar study (Mountain & Kars, 2018) undertaken for Solar Citizens analyzed the electricity bills in 2018 of 10,051 households in the contestable retail markets in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. A histogram of the average annual electricity prices (cents per kWh before general sales tax (GST)) of grid-supplied electricity purchased by these households is shown in Fig. In the case of the author’s own house, one of the only loads that might easily be shifted into off-peak periods is the automatic dishwasher. In the author’s case, each such shifted wash would save around 18 cents or $18 per year but would result in a nontrivial loss of utility (unpacking the dishwasher at times not necessarily of choice).
