Figure 4.15: Panasit Chaiyanan’s first Smart Grid
Initially, the researcher’s smart grid, shown in figure 4.15, looked a lot like other smart grid
found on the internet. The researcher understood the inner working of smart grid enough to
draw the simplest form of a smart grid, although not enough to design a sophisticated looking
one. This is another problem when the designer relies too much on the subject-matter expert.
According to subject-matter experts, all information will be important. Subject-matter experts
will not tell the designer which information to be omit, but instead will be telling what designer
must make sure to include. This does not contribute positively to the simplification process.
Figure 4.16: Panasit Chaiyanan’s Final Smart Grid (2012)
After having more understanding of the smart grid, the researcher was able to design a more
sophisticated smart grid diagram as shown in Figure 4.16, without limiting only to how existing
smart grid plans look. The researcher reached a conclusion that the designer’s ability to
