Control Strategy for Domestic Water Heaters during Peak Periods and its Impact on the Demand for Electricity
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a control strategy for water heaters that minimizes the pick-up demand when the heating elements are reactivated at the end of a load shifting period and that ensures, in all cases, the client's hot water supply.About:

Model-based assessment of demand-response measures—A comprehensive literature review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the state-of-the-art demand response (DR) models, identifying gaps and providing recommendations for future model developments, based on which a new model concept is required to simulate the load adjustment of individual end-uses, considering their technoeconomic constraints, under varying DR schemes, and extrapolate the cumulative impacts on the electricity system.
