A district energy distribution system serves as a type of energy storage, with steam, hot water, or chilled water circulating in the system, effectively smoothing the load for the central plant.
In the United States, district energy1 systems are typically located on university or college campuses; on hospital or research campuses; on military bases and airports; and in areas of dense building settings, often in the central business districts of larger municipalities (common applications shown in Figure 2).
While most district energy systems supply heating services (space heating and in some cases, water heating), many also provide cooling. For cooling, most district energy systems in the United States use hybrid chiller plants,4 often coupled with thermal storage.
