Very entertaining, especially love your take on eating Thai food. Makes me very hungry!
Thank you, Bjorn, for showing the floating PV plant! Besides unused area and cooling, floating PV is also good as there are almost never shadows on the modules and there is also a reduction of water to the air as the sun is not hitting the water directly - that is important for the growing number of regions worldwide with a shortage of water..
Good points. Your second thought about reducing water evaporation reminds me of one of the biggest water reservoirs for Los Angeles. There the water company covers the surface with football-sized plastic beads to reduce evaporation.
Your suggestion probably makes a lot of sense for such reservoirs.
@@IceAce1 I suppose that it makes sence although I have not seen numbers yet. In some areas floating PV is seen very critical and there all kind of limitative regulations quickly appear such as only 10% of a lake can be covered or it has to have 50m distance from shore t.b.c. Sometimes it seems that fossil energy industry is fighting it last and therefore brutal fight. So I am so happy to see projects like those in Thailand and to see how Bjorn is showing it to his viewers and is being happy about it. Btw the power lines from the water turbines can be used together with the solar farm - at day time solar and at night time water power. So cool and great technologies to come once we will have gone to 100% RE.
@@michah1896 Yes, the variety of EV related aspects that Bjoern manages to cover is absolutely brilliant, like his contagious optimism.
I've actually not seen anything like these floating pv in a larger installation before. I could imagine there need to be relatively wide safety margins to shore, for a number of plausible reasons (tide, safety of the installation, etc). That said, don't underestimate how much (lake) marine life needs light too. This alone may make such projects more feasible on reservoirs and hydrogen dams, than on natural lakes (where in turn non covered margins probably need to be larger).
In any case, brilliant what tech they combined in this area in Thailand, and how accessible it is presented.
Great video - as always...! This BYD Atto 3 also starts to get my attention, thanks to this and the other videos.
Europe's largest floating solar farm is on the Queen Elizabeth II reservoir in Surrey, England, near Heathrow Airport. This 6.3 MW plant was built in 2016. Portugal are also claiming to have the largest floating solar plant in Europe with the 5 MW Alqueva reservoir floating solar farm, which opened in 2022. There are plans to eventually expand Alqueva to 70 MW, but for now it seems smaller than the QE2 one.
This is about 9 MW and is therefore bigger than anything in Europe.
Big improvement with your roadside dining vs Norway. Thanks for the BYD assessment and great road trip tour. Cool to see the amazing hydro solar farm, road sights, and restaurants.
Ubon is just around 80km from home in Thailand. It’s nice to see charging infrastructure cropping up there! 👍🏼
The VW Beetle truly blew my mind, it is truly loved by her owner. Tesla just broke the VW Beetle 53yr old record, awesome classic.
Great video. That Atto 3 has just been released in the UK. I'm interested but need to see it in the flesh & test drive one before I consider it further. A new BYD dealer is opening near me soon. Many people in the UK are converting Beetle's to EV. In fact one UK company (Electric Classic Cars in Wales) are now offering standard EV conversion kits for rear engine Beetle's. They also convert Type 1 rear engined VW Vans, Karmen Ghia's, Fiat 500, Porsche's, Ferrari's & other cars. Plus a bespoke conversion for any car. It's not cheap but a great way of making a classic cars more useable, more reliable as a daily driver, cheaper to run & service & much quicker.
Keep up the good work.
it must be hard to leave the Thai food behind when returning to Norway; that looks good.
and there's nothing like fresh coconut!
Yes, kVA is the same as kW, but not exactly. It is an everyday issue in electrical engineering. If the voltage is alternating, then so is the current. But it's possible that the voltage and current are out of sync. An engineer would say they "out of phase." That means that for part of each cycle current is flowing from the load back to the power plant. Then the delivered power is less than the Volts * Amps. Even if the power delivered is zero, the current is real in that it heats up the wire.
Bjørn, Have you tried using google translate with your phone’s camera to translate Thai signs, like the one at the solar farm? It should be a big help while you are in Thailand. 😀
Loving your Thailand videos Bjorn🙏👊
That lake is HUGE! It’s the 4th largest lake in Thailand.
I remember hearing something about a project of floating PV on a lake somewhere along the Spanish-Portugal border
It's deep fried lemongrass, in your chicken dish. The green fanta seems to resemble, at least to me, a Hale's Blue Boy cream soda syrup with soda water. Enjoying your Thailand content here. Hope you make it regular - winter here, summer in Europe!
Finally you get good and healthy food over there in Thailand. Not like the junk you eat out of the box on your trips in Norway 😂
What box?
There're green fanta selling in China. It's my favorite soda
These floating solars are already implemented in Albania by Statkraft.
dam, sun
@16:24 The 41.1 MWp Sellingen park and 29.8 MWp Uivermeertjes park in the Netherlands are now the two largest outside of Asia. For more floating solar farms in the Netherland and Germany, look at Zimmermann PV-Floating.
4:27 here in Italy pur service station (the so called "Autogrill" even due not all are operated by Autogrill) also have plenty of amenities to offers
Great video as always Bjørn! I love the food reviews!
Paying to book charging stations would only work if ICEholes didn't block the charging stations (a common problem in Australia).
Thanks for the video Bjorn, what is your overall impression of the Atto 3?
Great Video. A visit to the the Phi Suea house in Chiang Mai with hybrid hydrogen batteries might also be interesting.
merry christmas happy new year to you Isabel and Ammery
My son and I make spicy Gai Kaprow every Wednesday and Thursday. When I spent 10 days in Thailand, my Thai friends often went to seafood restaurants, and that food was not spicy. The one thing that was too spicy came on the first day, at a posh Bangkok restaurant, when I asked for Som Tam, the green papaya salad with chili pepper.🌶🌶
Little hydro station might be pump hydro - pump uphill into reservoir when power is cheap then downhill drop runs turbines for output when power is more expensive.
wow, amazing food
So, somebody can book a charger while you are using it, and you have to move when they come even if you are not finished?
They can't book the current slot. They have to book the next slot.
ABC = always book charger
I love Amazon. Such nice oasises when it’s too hot
Food during the trip looks better than back in Europe!!!
Looks delicious.
I Also never Saw green Fanta
I love Thailand landscape and roads and all that, it's awesome 👍 here in Portugal we Also have something similar at the Alqueva solar panels it's more or less the same size yeah. But they could do more i Guess. Nice VW Beetle hey we need a Beetle ev like iDBuzz
What’s all the smog from?
Green Fanta ? We have Yellow Snow here in England during the winter period but I wouldn’t recommend eating it !!
Wait for Chiang Mai - Phuket Challenge. Now Phuket High season. Water very clear recommend
27:22 Can we please have the names of the 2 dishes? Looks absolutely delicious.
Sirindorn is a popular beach resort for Thai people. It’s nick named Patsy’s Noi 😁 nice place
Bjørn, Have you tried using google translate with your phone’s camera to translate Thai signs, like the one at the solar farm? It should be a big help while you are in Thailand. 😀
I have used it for years.
Volkswagen classic parts refittet an old beetle with electrive drivetrain. They took tech from e-up.
26:02 Those are called "louvers". Pretty sure those are aftermarket!
I hope panels are ok if hurricane comes.
I like the music 👍
I like to know how they get to the panels deep inside if they need to replace them.
Oh and, I forgot, solar pv can be beneficial to the place you put it. Example: slows evaporation loss, crop shade, animal shade and things I cannot yet conceive.
Apparently you can reach these panels by a new invention called a 'boat' ... 😂
Cooling by the water is a famous benefit of a "floatovoltaic" system. Floating photovoltaic = floatovoltaic. You are a sharp engineer to notice that. Thank you so much for showing us this installation. My area lacks lakes, so I wouldn't know where to see a floatovoltaic plant.
No passive cooling, it's active cooling!
😂😂😂 no chili! My wife always complain that I can’t take much chili. I find comfort in you not eating too hot food either 👍🏼🇳🇴
Switzerland has that as well. U r right, it makes so much sense. It should be done more , much more. Thanks
Not many foreigners go there. So I guess that’s why only narrator in Thai
As he said ;)
@@helgedell as he guessed 😁
@@driver288 Ups... 😬
Block it until the booker gives it free. 😊
All that way for a rushed 30 min walkabout. 🤪😄
Not much else to see there.
Google translate app translates on the fly using camera
I know. I have used it for years.
really cheap charching. especially with 75% electricity comming from LNG with that high gas prices. must be a subsidized company. Hopfully the can hold the price
Disagree with you you Bjorn, there’s nothing natural about the gas, coupled with coal, the power generation isn’t all that clean. 😮😊😊
Disagree on what? I ever claimed that gas was natural. It's called "natural gas", you know?
Never seen a green Fanta before
26:36 Volkswagen should at least try to introduce it as ID Beetle after their famous ID Buzz back in the days. I mean it should have lower resistance and would put the regular ID3/4/5 to shame design wise. Then again Ora seems to got it covered with their punk cat no?
Although I don't think Volkswagen would allow it within Europe given the new Beetle is still being actively used as a brand. Size wise my grandparents used the original to drive the whole family around on holiday. To me it would be just another Mini challenge: I mean how can you put 2 adults and way too many kids in there.
Other than that: great footage Bjorn. Gotta try to fetch some green Fanta, maybe the Asian supermarket has got it in store next to the office I work. Good new challenge: find green Fanta outside of Thailand ;)
