This Island BANNED Petrol! ❌ How Are Remote Islands Powered?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- How do you power a small island? That question has been rattling around my mind for the last few weeks as I travel through Indonesia... So in today's video, I set out on a quest to find out how one of the tiny Gili Islands is powered. But with not a single combustion engine vehicle on the island, the answer proved to be harder to find than you might think 🤔

After watching you guys for a while i have decided to take the step to become an electrician looking for an apprenticeship
If you're in the UK, National Grid just released their apprenticeships for this year - check their website :)
@@martync6713 ill have to have a look based in Peterborough area
Well I grew up in a house that had cloth wiring , it had 15a and 5a circuits. These were not fused in the plug , they were fused in the box. Their was table lamps with what looked like bell wire taking 240v the thing was if you got a shock it was treated like it was "your fault for being so stupid" its quite funny when you look back but it makes you more responsable for your own actions. Would love to visit indinesia looks great and the foll are so friendly :) couldnt see the link for that island stay
Nice video! I went to Gili Trawangan in 2009. And I see a lot of similarities in your video. I remember our apartment where we had a small swimming pool. I didn't want to go in because I saw that the pump was connected ungrounded. Another funny thing I saw there was a street lamp where the original bulb was broken. They simply cut the cable and installed a regular lamp socket. Just like that in the open air. You asked about a country where everything runs on solar energy. I went to Costa Rica in 2017. There we stayed with a Belgian man who had a guest house with several houses on top of a mountain. There you could not get a permanent connection to the electricity grid, nor water. It was completely self-sufficient through a water source and a solar panel installation with 35 solar panels, traction batteries and inverters. This allowed him to provide electricity to all guests and even cook and bake in the kitchen.
Perhentians north Malaysia were an experiance a few years back. No power, running water or phone signal. Definitely worth a visit though.
Also recommend Georgetown Penang just as a cool place to see. And Langkawi if you’re over that way
I hope you're enjoying your time away. I like these investigations into foreign electrical systems, more of these please!
The Isle of Eigg in Scotland is powered entirely by a combination of solar, wind & hydro that's stored in a huge battery bank on the island.
The community bought the Island back in 1997 so the locals own it themselves and have had to figure out what I believe was a world first power grid install at the time to provide their own electricity.
You should do a video there!
I enjoyed watching you try to find the power source for the island ! Very entertaining !
These have been so awesome. I went to England Scotland and Wales couldn't think of a souvenir to bring home. I'm not that kind of person. And then got an opportunity to go to the Philippines for the three weeks that I was there I finally figured out what kind of souvenirs I can bring home. For an electrical stuff. I got myself a Philippines extension cord, other than polarization and universal socket it's good quality and metal cased and happens to be semi compatible with the US so I can still use it at home. But I do have this crazy idea to get a plug in socket from every country and put them on a big board and wire them up. I stayed in a few scout huts well in England and the first thing I had to do was follow all the wiring around fascinating, ring circuits weird.
Ahh The Irish Bar, nice. We get around us Paddy’s 🇮🇪 ☘️ 🍺
Fascinating video. Your guest Maday? was very knowledgable. He seemed very happy with the set up, calm pace of life.
It always find it fascinating how some countries lash up their wiring, but i will say, most of what you have seen, i have seen here in the uk. We probably have some of the strictest regulations, but in my opinion, that is mostly to generate profits for the companies who offer accreditation and certification.
Enjoy your time in Indonesia, look's amazing👍
Thank you for these videos, i really like watching them so keep them coming. Greetings from the Netherlands.
That was a brilliant video! Thanks Jordan. Looking forward to the next one!!👍👍👍.
I definitely do like this kind of videos, very interesting! Thanks!
Yeah wow, it’s something called “an organised mess”, what a fantastic video Jordan this was different & very interesting it really is!
I love new stuff & new experiences myself it really builds character…
Since early 2017 fresh water was installed on the island and is supplied by underwater pipes from Lombok. Electricity is supplied by underwater cables from Lombok. There are no cars or motorbikes.
And more thing the smile on your face when you find the humming noise made me laugh so much
Hi Jordan Indonesia is an ex Dutch colonie so I think they probably use the European standard of distributing HV at 10Kv or 15Kv don't know what other voltages are used except that house voltage is 220/380 volts and they also have some 127/220 volts hope this helps a bit cheers
The power plant in lombok that supplies the Gili islands is a diesel engine power plant, although there are plans to change to LNG.
Interesting thanks
@@artisanelectrics Actually the Jeranjang Power Plant in Lombok already runs on natural gas supplying about 250,000 homes. There is also the Kumbi Sedau Mini Hydro Electric Power plant and various other power plants.
Really good video! 👍
Awesome and interesting.
But it's not uncommon for HV cables to be run under rivers and estuaries in Wales,.. there's a big feed from Aberystwyth to Aberdyfi, been there for donkeys years, but it gets replaced periodically due to its tidal flexing.
Thanks for your videos Jordan, enjoy 😊
Your really good at doing these types of videos.
All so kind looks like an incredible place
In some respects here in Belize some of the electrical installations are very similar.
You find metal and plastic containment switch gear with circuit breakers installed outside the property without any additional weather protection and considering it has a tropical climate, not good.
Also grounding or earthing that should be in place within a property sadly in many cases very optional but as you pointed out in your video you don't hear of any electrical fatalities.
Anyway enjoy your time away from the UK and stay safe.
So refreshing and a new spring in your step! 🫶🏻
Looks like there are solar arrays on Gili Trawangan, Meno, and Air. Gili T's is the biggest, listed as 600KW so I'd guess that they are all on a sub-sea cable back to Lombok. Still looking on Google Earth for the most likely spot...
Please make more content aswell I actually loved this buddy, there’s also a floating solar plant called the cirata floating solar plant but unfortunately that’s not an island just a suggestion
I bet you wish you'd brought a little drone with you. That'd find the power station pretty quick, I think!
Hang on, there's drone footage at the end.... why didn't you use it to chase the transmission lines???
One of your absolutely best videos yet and very interesting. Great to see the reasons why we need to ditch ice power in order to protect those islands from being overcome by rising waters because of global warming. Awesome!!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
If only the water was rising…
@@Trevor_Austinfeck right aff you flat earth tinfoiled hat muppet
You remind me of the chap on SAS with your hair. Enjoy Jordan!
Thank you, was amazing 🤩
Awesome video Jordan! The tower at 10:20 or so is a microwave repeater site for data/comms as you say
Clearly there must be a substation on the island where the high voltage cable comes up from. You would want to isolate shorts and fault currents more effectively. That being said training and knowledge is at a premium and in rural areas it difficult to get staff out to remote areas to maintain and service. I am convinced given the state of those electrics death by electrocution are happening regularly. More often than not once someone hooks the power up people don’t mess with it given they realize how poor it is if anything that saves a lot of lives. This is why I do believe there is an opportunity to electricians from the west can really come and help develop good training and practice for staff in many developing nations even on a voluntary charitable basis.
Cham Island off of Hoi An used to be powered by on island generators for only a few hours a day. Then in 2017 or so they connected to the mainland via submarine cable and now has power 24/7. The cable landing site is nothing special, you just see some riser cables coming up a pole to a recloser and a metering package. I actually have picstures of them running the cable from the ship to shore, pretty cool.
Phu Quoc in S. Vietnam is connected to the mainland too. That one I believe is 110kV and tied in the the existing transmission grid on Phu Quoc. And, again, the cable landing site is nothing special. Just steel lattice tower with a riser cable and pit heads running up it.
Cham Island it was all 22kV distribution, the common distribution voltage here in Vietnam and if I remember correctly, came in on 22kV too. But it's been a few years.
Great to see the electric scooters!
great to see some classy electrics....try Kathmandu and Nepal, also worth a look!
It looks like one big fire waiting to happen, Jordan. Great video, thanks for sharing
5:50 RST (or UVW typically used for transformers or motors) are old three phase descriptors, also used e.g. in Poland before adopting L1, L2, L3, though AFAIK in no way related to wire colors
Are you on Gilly Meno? We went on a family holiday there a few years ago. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you thank you
Looking at the number of insulator disks on the HV line, it looks like 11Kv.
Your wife looks happy with you
For a split second, I thought this might be a backdoor Blue Yetti commercial lol.
Gili T ❤
That looked like Gary glitter driving past you on that bike carrying a kid 🤔
Try the Perhentian island's off the coast of Malaysia.
Amazing
I hate to let the cat out of the bag but the UK has power cables running to/ from France et al.... so not sure why it came as a surprise?
I'm a fan of that BBQ
rst is the old way of naming phases which is red, swept and tied
I hope it’s not all work while you’re in Indo ? or does Mrs F love local electrics as much as you? 👍
Great vid can we have more please
Another one already filmed edited and ready to go! 😎
The answer is usually: minimally.
interesting
You would have found similar standards of electrical distribution and wiring had you explored rural Thailand. 😎
I daily find crap wiring in USA.
Since it works, nobody's going the tell me it's somehow wrong.
Massive
The tower was full of microwave dishes. A satellite dish at that latitude would be about 8º from vertical. I’ll bet my nuts that electrical power generation will be a remote diesel driven installation. Solar would be great and would run the majority of your grid demand but this island needs reliable power. So that means you will also need large array of batteries to ensure voltage and frequency stability plus standby generation capacity to power the grid when the batteries and PV are unable to meet demand. The massive great Thai elephant in the room though is cost. If the locals thought diesel was expensive, wait until they see how much “renewables” (aka intermittent ‘free’ power) will cost them.
Try to find where the internet cone from on these islands 😊
Jordan when are you coming to Ghana ?
Jordan seeing EICR £ signs
Power cable is not unusual. British Isles too. Guernsey has a power cable from France via Jersey that provides renewable electricity.
So technically you guys are paying the French for power then?
@@PrograErrorwell, EDF is a major electricity supplier in the UK, so yes, we pay the French.
“Renewable” as in nuclear. That is clearly the sensible way to go.
@Trevor_Austin
I would imagine the renewable electricity we get from France is a mix of technologies. I don't know if it includes nuclear, but nuclear isn't truly renewable, of course, just "low" CO2 footprint in comparison.
There is talk of a second cable, and the States are investigating an offshore wind farm that would provide all our needs plus power left over for export.
@@martinw245 are they trying to stop Trump buying a golf course there? Oh and we have undersea cables throughout the UK and are continually adding more it's not just to the small islands. They finished one through the Channel Tunnel too. Energy arbitrage is important for all countries. We might get a scheme going from North Africa all the way to the UK, and Australia are looking at the islands north of them by quite some distance (as in, south east Asia). Although their current scheme is a bit mired in shenanigans atm the actual idea is perfectly sound.
Its an interesting possible way to look at the regulations.. Maybe some common sense and general education needs to be introduced in the UK (i.e. kids, dont touch the electrical stuff that hangs in the trees as it could be dangerous)..
He’s making up for the locals lack of carbon foot prints by becoming travelling Mack from the Fraggles! 😂 lead by example!
😂
Well that was a magical mystery tour wrapped up in an enigma Jordan! What a beautiful place, so sad that we in the west are contributing to their downfall while they have managed to eliminate fossil fuels themselves. Shameful there are so few of us trying to do the same here.
Don't get me wrong, but SE Asian Countries are still very oil based as much as they want to show them going electric...
There's still very much infrastructure to be built...
Maybe the new Indo capital will be the 1st fully electrified* capital with huge restrictions for the normal oil based vehicles...
Indonesia's power generation is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, with coal generating most of the country's electricity.
How does Gili Trawangan get electricity?
Electricity. All three Gili Islands are powered by an undersea cable from Lombok.
Must not have Google there.
The hi is probably steel not copper
Did you find a solar powered island?
If you go to Indonesia, you have to go to Java because "DJAWA ADALAH KOENTJI"
Sounds good
Ironically, almost all electricity in Indonesia is from either coal or petrol. When you buy stuff like extension cords, earth isn't connected, there's not even a 3rd wire inside, even though on the outside it looks like it, it's just all fake 😂
British standards - designed for a population of folk who poke stuff to see what it does and wonder why it bites XD
the island of eigg is running off 100% renewable
Di video ini menunjukkan kalau betapa sembarangannya perusahaan negara kita dan pekerjanya dalam hal keselamatan! Saya yakin perusahaan punya SOP tapi pekerjanya tidak melaksanakannya dengan baik
If you had actually found the spot where the cable is connected, I would have subscribed. Maybe. 😁
I doubt you'd wanna show something that sensitive...😅
The high voltage cables won’t be copper. They are generally aluminium with a steel core for strength.
Those are copper distribution cable, not until you get to larger 336mm wire or so do you end up with aluminum and it's more recent installations. Most of the HV transmission is aluminum though, but this is MV distribution and old.
10% out of 100% is miniscule and more electric cars and buses have set on fire
spoiler......a ship does it............
I am sorry to say this and not trying to be negative, but since you have left the videos lack ambition.
They was colonized by the dutch so their standard is as good as the dutch and nothing to do with brit 😂😂😂
Jordan please, after watching this video it looks as though your wife is very much discluded from the content you create. Can you not include her in your content, surely she would feel left out secretly?
She is a bit camera shy but I will try 😆
In the weekly VLOGS she does appear more as she knows less people are watching…
