The STORM project is gearing up for the next heating season! The next step is integrating the low-temperature network in Heerlen into the system.

During the last months, the Rottne demo site has upgraded its smart grid controller and has moved a significant step to increase the use of renewables.

The STORM project is featured in the new European Commission report showing European Union on-the-ground support for the 2016 Heating and Cooling strategy.

NODA Deutschland GmBH is now cooperating with Schäfer GmbH. For STORM, this development means a first step towards exploiting the STORM controller.

Upcoming STORM project event will focus on energy systems and DHC. Specific workshops are planned to include intelligent controls for DHC networks.

STORM & OPTi DHC projects met in Stuttgart, Germany. The meeting has acted as a catalyst to provide cooperation between the two projects.

Smart control is at the core of the NODA system, which forms the basis for STORM. However; this core requires additional functionality. To achieve a system wide optimisation platform several links need to be connected

Up to now, the preparatory work for defining the features of the controller and the development of the algorithms for the STORM controller have started.

One of the first steps in the STORM project was to thoroughly map the current situation of DHC networks and control strategies in Europe.
