Is the discharge noise of new energy battery cabinet loud

Are battery energy storage systems causing noise?

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.

How to reduce battery energy storage site noise?

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.

Did NMS conduct a noise study for a new battery energy storage facility?

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.

What makes a Bess a noisy facility?

This noise is often tonal, which can mean the facility noise levels are held to a more restrictive noise limit. Power Conversion System (PCS): The PCS is an essential component of the BESS as it converts electricity between direct and alternating currents.
