H2020 STORM project: Self-organising thermal operational resource management presentation of the project and progress update

This paper describes the progress of the STORM-project, a project started in March 2015. The objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate a generic district heating and cooling network controller. Generic in this sense means that the controller will be applicable to all generations of networks, including widely spread 3rd generation networks, but also very innovative 4th generation networks. To demonstrate the generic character, the controller will be implemented and demonstrated in a traditional district heating scheme in Rottne (Sweden) but also in the very advanced low-temperature network in Heerlen (the Netherlands).
