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.
Do battery containers make noise?
Battery Container Battery containers generally make little noise during normal operation when external ambient air temperatures are in the 5°C to 25°C range. Outside this range, greater demand is placed on heating/cooling and ventilation equipment to ensure no loss of storage capacity (below 5°C) and no damage due to overheating (above 25°C).
Why does a Bess battery make a loud noise?
In our work with BESS, the noise is commonly associated with the battery and inverter modules’ heating and cooling systems, with the use of fans and compressors being the main emitters. However, the noise levels emitted are highly variable and depend on several factors, including operating conditions, ambient temperatures, and speed drives.
What are battery energy storage systems?
These battery energy storage systems typically consist of rechargeable batteries, power conversion systems, cooling systems and control electronics. BESS facilities tend to produce high noise levels generated mostly by the compressors and fans in the electrical equipment cooling systems.
