6 FAQs about [Energy storage container noise]

Are battery energy storage systems causing noise?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are relatively new to the US, and communities are only just starting to become aware of the noise issues they can create. BESS’s are generally large power storage facilities, often comprised of hundreds of battery units the size of shipping containers spread over many acres of land.

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).

Are battery container HVAC units noisy?

Regarding the battery container HVAC units, these units are likely to be speed / thermostat-controlled (operating on/off independently); as such combined noise levels during typical operation are therefore likely to be lower than those presented.

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 are the key components and noise sources of a Bess facility?

Key components and noise sources of a BESS facility include: Batteries: Rechargeable battery units are the core of the Battery Energy Storage System. Battery units (often 20 ft. in length and 8 ft in width and height) include cooling systems to maintain optimal operating temperature.

Do you need a sound enclosure?

Sound enclosures may be considered for some equipment, but the most common form of noise control is a noise barrier of appropriate height. Noise barrier walls block the direct path of noise from the source to the sensitive receptor.
