Distribution network planning for high load density areas

In many emerging countries, like on the Arabian Peninsula or China, new cities are planned and built from scratch in areas with no existing infrastructure. The load density is expected to become very high within the next 10 to 15 years. To handle such high load densities network structures for the distribution networks are required which are characterized by a very high flexibility and scalability. Based on the example of Dubai Waterfront planning steps for such networks are presented and explained.
