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.
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.
We were able to demonstrate the facility complied with the City’s 45 dBA nighttime noise requirement. If you want further advice on battery storage facility noise issues or have already decided to take action and need a noise output tested and analyzed, contact Noise Monitoring Services today on (323) 546-9902.
The use of battery storage helps the grid to remain stable due to its ability to respond quickly to changes in energy demand. Grid-scale battery storage has the potential to significantly assist in the renewable energy transition. Noise has emerged as a key environmental impact challenge in the development of BESS. But why?
Sound from inlet and outlet airflow vents, as well as fans and pumps are emitted from each battery enclosure. The sounds from these systems are similar to rooftop heating ventilation and cooling units in residential and commercial buildings.
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.

Understanding the Challenges of Charging Batteries in Parallel
One of the primary issues with charging batteries in parallel is battery imbalance. When batteries of different capacities, ages, or types are connected in parallel, they can have varying charge states. This discrepancy can lead to unequal charging and discharging rates, potentially causing one battery to overcharge or undercharge.
