Noise Mitigation: Addressing Acoustics for Optimal BESS Operations

Synopsis

Noise concerns are increasingly shaping the regulatory landscape for energy storage projects. Addressing noise early in the design phase will not only help meet local regulations, but will also support the larger goal of building more resilient and sustainable energy systems.

In this presentation, we will cover the following key topics:

• Basics of acoustics: Understanding the fundamental principles of sound and how it behaves in different environments
• Impact of acoustics: Exploring noise propagation and its significant effects on Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) operations.
• Current limitations in the industry: Identifying the challenges and constraints faced by the industry in managing acoustic issues.
• Noise control: Discussing effective mitigation strategies and attenuation solutions to manage and reduce noise impact.

By the end of this presentation, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the importance of acoustics in BESS operations and available solutions to address noise-related challenges.
