Can heat pumps compete with energy storage

Are heat pumps and thermal energy storage integrated?

Policy analysis conducted for seven countries. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the integration of heat pumps and thermal energy storage (TES) within the current energy system. Utilizing bibliometric analysis, recent research trends and gaps are identified, shedding light on the evolving landscape of this dynamic field.

Are heat pumps and TES integrated with renewables and electrical storage?

To summarize the results, more research is required on making system integration, control and optimization strategies to optimize the performance of energy systems in which heat pumps and TES are integrated with renewables and electrical storage. 3.5. Worldwide trends of renewables' investments and patents

What are heat pumps and TES support strategies?

Heat pumps and TES support strategies have pricing and economics, financial support, and regulatory standards as three important elements. It is learnt that collaboration is required between policy and research sector to boost the wide deployment of heat pumps and TES technologies.

Is social acceptance on integration of heat pump and TES a barrier?

Moreover, social acceptance on integration of TES in the current energy systems was identified as a barrier. The main objective of the paper is to highlight the existing research gaps and challenges in the integration of heat pump and TES technologies in current energy system.

What is the literature on heat pumps and TES systems?

Overall, the literature on heat pumps and TES systems is characterized by a growing interest in these technologies, driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Bibliometric analysis has become an increasingly popular method for analyzing scientific literature in last decade or so [9, 10].

What can we learn from a heat pump policy analysis?

The policy analysis can also be extended beyond seven countries to understand the deployment progress of heat pumps and TES across diverse climate zones. Moreover, conducting an analysis on tariff policies considering economy and energy policy principles will also provide valuable insights.
