annote={Quote: "An aggregated load profile is constructed using data from 696 heat pumps in GB.  It contains a morning and evening peak, falling to 40\% of its peak value overnight.  After diversity maximum demand is calculated as 1.7 kWe per heat pump.  A first order approximation of the impact of 20\% uptake of heat pumps is presented.  This is shown to lead to the GB national grid evening peak increasing by 14\%.},
