contents The demand-side control of district heating networks is notoriously challenging due to the large number of connected users and the high number of states to be considered. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents a hierarchical optimization scheme using the flexibility in heating demand provided by the users to improve the performance of the network. This hierarchical scheme relies on a low level controller to calculate the costs for a subsystem over a given set of potential pressure drops for that subsystem. The high level controller then uses these calculated costs to determine the optimal set of pressure drops for every subgraph of the partitioned network. The proposed hierarchical optimization scheme is demonstrated on a representative 20 user district heating network, resulting in a 67\% reduction in bypass mass flow while ensuring all network users stay within 2 \degree C of their desired nominal temperatures.
