Domestic demand-side management (DSM): Role of heat pumps and thermal energy storage (TES) systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed heat pumps with radiators or underfloor heating distribution systems coupled with thermal energy storage (TES) with a view to showing how a heat pump system behaves and how it influences the building occupants' thermal comfort under a DSM strategy designed to flatten the shape of the electricity load curve by switching off the heat pump during peak hours.

The Smart Grid—State-of-the-art and future trends
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce Smart Grid and associated technical, environmental and socioeconomic, and other non-tangible benefits to society, and articulates the need for the concept and the fact that it is a dynamic interactive, real-time infrastructure that responds to the challenges of designing and building the power system of the future, rather than being simply a marketing term.
