This paper examines the economic and environmental impacts of district cooling systems (DCS) that are integrated with renewable energy sources and thermal energy storage (TES). Typically, a DCS offers a highly efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional air conditioning systems, providing cool air to buildings and communities through a centralized system that uses chilled water. However, the integration of renewable energy and thermal energy storage into these systems can further increase their sustainability and efficiency, reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and improving their ability to handle fluctuations in demand. The goal of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of the art of renewable energy-driven DCS with TES integrated and to highlight the benefits and challenges associated with these systems. Finally, the findings of this paper offer valuable insights into the potential for renewable energy-powered district cooling systems to contribute to a more sustainable and efficient built environment. © 2023 by the authors.
