The ever-increasing demand for heating in different sectors, along with more preventative regulations of greenhouse emissions, has forced different countries to seek new alternatives to heat buildings such as district heating system (DHS). DHS is best suited to areas with a high building and population density in relatively cold climates. District heating, considered as the most efficient method for building space heating, has been dramatically developed over the past decades. This paper approaches the description and component modelling of a DHS with a focus on the heat distribution network. Additionally, the state of the art in optimisation of the heat distribution networks has been reviewed and categorised based on the techniques used for solving optimisation problems. An optimal design model of hot-water branched distribution networks in steady-state conditions based on the linear programming method was exposed. Finally, the economic performance of a DHS is briefly discussed.
