Multivariate time series classification (MTSC), one of the most fundamental applications, has not only gained substantial research attentions but also emerged in many real-life applications. Recently, using transformers to solve MTSC been reported. However, current transformer-based methods take data points individual timestamps as inputs (timestamp-level), which capture temporal dependencies, dependencies among variables. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called SVP-T. Specifically,...
Beginning in the 1990s, China has completed two phases of emission trading pilots. In this paper we assess China's pilot programme and analyze how it been constrained by major problems three areas governance capacities: state, policy, administrative capacities. These reflect deeper more profound dilemmas market transition experienced Chinese government past decades. The have resulted development a ‘state-led’ pseudomarket, instead full ‘autonomous’ market, for China. It is evidently clear...
This paper examines relationships between collaborative governance and technological innovation. Collaborative is a key strategy for this form of innovation but remains underresearched. explores how to what extent can contribute by means case study wind energy in China. Drawing on comparative analysis three provinces—Xinjiang, Shanghai, Guangdong—the presents major findings. Firstly, the provinces reflect local variations their models government–industry–university collaboration. Xinjiang...
Energy poverty and other social aspects of energy are an important but under-researched area in the sustainability literature. This article challenges effectiveness traditional expenditure-based 10%-income indicator reflecting nature complexity poverty, with particular reference to a case study Hong Kong. To advance literature, this proposes multi-dimensional framework conceptualise complex linkages between vulnerability factors, impacts, responses energy-poor households. Based on analysis...
Cities have increasingly become the focal point for climate change initiatives. However, how cities respond to challenges and through what mechanisms remained largely unexplored. This paper develops a framework local governance examine explain initiatives in cities. Based on analysis of 20 major detailed case study Hong Kong, this has two main findings. First, governments at city level an important role play policies by embracing some key strategies (such as deliberation partnership) values...
Abstract Wind power is potentially a key energy option that can assist China in meeting its sustainability goals but at present plays only limited role the country's system. resource assessment (WRA) has been identified as impediment to further development of this source. This paper examines whether collaborative governance help improve WRA China, and if so through what mechanisms. Collaborative initiatives involving two Chinese provinces, Xinjiang Guangdong, are reviewed. suggests that,...
ABSTRACT This paper brings together the key concepts of policy learning and central–local relations to examine how efficacy sustainability policies can be improved, with a particular reference pricing for wind energy in China. Based on our comparative case studies three provinces, Guangdong, Shanghai Xinjiang, we critically may facilitate or impede learning. Our analysis focuses changes at national level , including move away from tendering fixed‐price 2009, diversity local responses which...
Temperature and population growth are key drivers of energy consumption. However, the relative importance climatic socioeconomic factors driving consumption at different temporal scales is not well-understood. Therefore, we developed a time-series decomposition method to attribute (heat index monsoon index) variables domestic in Hong Kong from 1981–2015. The same was used for Singapore 2005–2015 test transferability our method. Population GDP were primary 1981–2015, but heat became driver...
The adoption of solar photovoltaic systems is often constrained by various sociotechnical barriers. In this paper, we identify and differentiate barriers to among three groups potential adopters in Hong Kong: individuals, businesses, the public sector. A total 55 interviews were conducted collect data for study. results indicate that most important constraints technical such as space limitations low energy output, followed economic high upfront costs long payback periods. Furthermore, found...
Abstract Nuclear power has remained a hugely controversial energy technology since the 1970s and became particularly so after 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. Engaging citizens in making decisions have thus become an increasingly important governing approach to post‐Fukushima transitions many countries. Deliberative participatory processes learning through social interactions been regarded as critical elements of effective public engagement. Yet, little is known about who learns what, how...
Engagement with households to fully realize the potential of demand-side solutions has attracted policy attention. The feedback been understudied, especially regarding who engages more in electricity conservation. Furthermore, most studies have limited Western context, only a few that explore Asia. This study fills these gaps by investigating changes household hourly consumption patterns after its members receive high-resolution feedback. After data balancing, we partitioned 63 into distinct...
