Sumario: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. The study delves into the research outputs since 1969, offering insights into the global scholarly contributions shaping the discourse. Furthermore, an extensive policy analysis is conducted, focusing on seven countries with the highest research output. The interplay between research advancements and energy policies is explored, providing an understanding of the practical implications of the integration of heat pumps and TES. An understanding is tried to reach as how research and policy sector influence each other. This analysis contributes not only to the academic understanding of the subject but also informs policymakers about potential pathways for enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in heating and cooling sector.
