Acentech Principal and noise expert Ethan Brush outlines noise mitigation strategies for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in this blog.
Image: Wartsila. The noise of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology has “exploded” as a concern in the last six months, an executive from system integrator Wartsila ES&O said. BESS units primarily emit noise from their cooling systems, but balance of system (BOS) components like inverters and transformers also produce noise emissions.
Our field measurements show a wide range of noise levels generated by the cooling systems of BESS equipment. Noise levels tend to range from 70 to 92 decibels when measured 1 meter from the component. Key components and noise sources of a BESS facility include: Batteries: Rechargeable battery units are the core of the Battery Energy Storage System.
In July, 2022, NMS was retained to conduct a detailed noise study for a new Battery Energy Storage Facility near Los Angeles (for confidentiality purposes, no identifying client or site information is included in this article). The facility consisted of over 300 batteries, over 60 PCS units and two transformers covering about 6 acres of land.
A BESS facility comprising of several hundred battery units can easily produce noise levels over 70 decibels at residences located 100 ft from the site. With typical city noise ordinances requiring compliance with 45 dBA noise limits at night, mitigating these facilities can be a challenge!
The noise survey would need to measure the sound level, spectral characteristics and directivity of the noise sources. Ambient sound measurements at the project site to determine existing background noise levels and determine whether any ambient noise correction to the noise limit could be applied. Construction of a detailed 3D model of the site.
More sophisticated cooling systems mean that the noise emissions are not necessarily growing with the increased energy density, however.
