This conference paper (Energy Procedia, DHC2018) reports on the STORM Horizon 2020 project that developed the STORM controller — a modular, self-learning demand-side management platform for district heating and cooling. It describes the controller architecture (Forecaster, Planner, Tracker, vDER), deployment approaches and two demonstrators (Rottne, Sweden and Heerlen, Netherlands), and presents operational results showing peak-load reduction, distribution-level coordination and measured flexibility (e.g., ~23 MWh discharge in March 2018). The paper also evaluates the feasibility of using heat demand–outdoor temperature functions for long-term forecasting in a Lisbon case study.
