Abstract

Abstract: According to various studies, the cooling sector is a major energy consumer and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. These studies will delve into advances in district cooling systems (DCS), their relationship to renewable energy sources, and innovative control strategies to improve efficiency. This review aims to highlight the potential of DCS compared to conventional cooling systems. A district cooling system works as a centralized system that provides thermal energy using chilled water to cool the space. DCS presents practical, environmental, and safety benefits. The assimilation of renewable energy technologies increases its sustainability. Treated wastewater is a medium for supplying thermal energy, especially for cooling and dehumidifying premises. In addition, solar photovoltaic energy, biomass energy, and geothermal energy are identified as suitable energy sources for DCS. The study suggests that district cooling systems that use renewable energy systems show considerable potential to provide sustainable and clean cooling energy for the future world.
