Following a decade of unprecedented investment, China now has the world's largest installed base wind power capacity. Yet, despite siting most farms in wind-rich Northern and Western provinces, electricity generation from Chinese not reached performance benchmarks United States many other advanced economies. This resulted lower environmental, economic, health benefits than anticipated. We develop framework to explain US sectors, accounting for comprehensive set driving factors. apply this...

Understanding the long-term patterns of innovation in energy technologies is crucial to informing public policy planning context climate change. This paper analyzes which two common models over technology life-cycle – product-process shift observed for mass-produced goods or system-component complex products and systems best describes pattern technologies. To this end, we develop a novel, patent-based methodology study how focus changes course life-cycle. Specifically, analyze...

We analyze how a product's design hierarchy shapes the evolution of underlying body technological knowledge, building on literature in complex products. This suggests that product can have an ordering effect commercialized artifacts, particular when decisions high levels set agenda for subsequent variation and experimentation lower levels. extend this by analyzing hierarchy's industry's knowledge base, using case wind turbine technology over period 1973-2009. assess focus patents along core...

The recent UNFCCC conferences starting with Bali in 2007 until Lima 2014 have paved the way for integration of nationally determined initiatives into global climate governance architecture. National ‘green growth’ strategies become a new paradigm policymakers and executives. Designed aim decoupling economic development from adverse environmental impacts, these bottom-up policies hold promise overcoming gridlock international negotiations. Building on literature innovation research, this...

The urgency of the world’s environmental challenges has led governments around globe to rethink role government in innovation process. In addition direct public spending on energy technology research, development and demonstration, many countries now subsidize large-scale deployment innovative technologies through so-called ‘deployment policies’. Examples include feed-in tariffs for renewable electricity, mandates blending biofuels investment subsidies electric vehicles. Deployment policies...

Feature selection of text is one the basic matters for intelligent classification text. Textual feature generating algorithm adopts weighted textual vector space model generally at present. This uses BP network evaluation function to calculate weight value single and redundancy generated in this high generally. For problem, a based on clustering weighting adopted. new method conducts initial treatment candidate set first all then further features through semantic information entropy it...
