  "abstract": "We provide a comprehensive study of heat transport in periodically driven quantum systems using a master equation approach in the Floquet basis. Starting from the exact, formal expressions, we obtain, within the weak coupling regime of system-bath coupling, a generalized Floquet-Redfield master equation which does not involve Markovian or secular approximations and the corresponding formula for the heat current. From this approach we derive the standard, full secular master equation. Moreover, we present a master equation for the driven spin-boson model in the instantaneous eigenbasis. The different approaches are compared by applying them to the steady-state heat transport in the driven spin-boson model. An analytical solution is provided for the master equation in the instantaneous eigenbasis which reproduces the numerics and explains the features of the heat current as a function of the drive parameters.",
