Here are a few solutions for battery energy storage site noise reduction. Inverter units may be outfitted with manufacturer noise-reducing kits, but this often isn't enough to significantly reduce noise emissions at property lines.
Ethan Brush, a technical expert from the noise and acoustics services company Acentech, recently released a study highlighting the increasing concern over noise issues associated with battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Effective BESS noise reduction can be achieved with the inclusion of sound barriers and sound walls. Incorporating a BESS helps stabilize the energy supply to the grid and improve system voltage during times of high demand. It helps reduce power loss in the transmission network and can store excess renewable energy that would normally be curtailed.
The equipment noise data will be used to generate a model of the total facility's sound emitted at the property line and at sensitive receptors such as homes. The model includes all necessary equipment sound sources along with topographical features of the surrounding area.
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).
