When selecting storage systems for a new or upgraded energy storage facility (industrial-scale BESS – Battery Energy Storage Systems), every parameter is crucial. First and foremost is the storage capacity (kWh), which is the most important criterion. Next, power (kW), the number of charge cycles, operating temperature, and many other technical characteristics are evaluated.
However, few people immediately think of an equally important feature—the noise level emitted. This is often considered when choosing new household appliances, such as a washing machine, vacuum cleaner, or refrigerator that runs continuously at home. Nevertheless, the noise emitted by energy storage systems must also be evaluated. This is especially true when energy storage facilities are located near offices, commercial buildings, urban areas, or other noise-sensitive environments.
When does the noise from energy storage systems become a challenge?
When building very large energy storage farms, the noise generated can become a significant challenge. Typically, industrial storage units use powerful fans or liquid cooling systems with external heat exchangers. When the farm is charging or feeding energy into the grid, the cooling system operates at maximum capacity, creating constant background noise. Synchronously operating inverters also contribute to the noise. Therefore, noise-sensitive zones may need to be designated if noise levels exceed permissible limits.
A quieter solution for industrial projects
Pinus LT carefully selects its partners and analyses the energy storage solutions they offer. It collaborates only with those who continually seek innovative solutions.
The manufacturer ZOE is one such partner. Their latest product, the ZOE Energy Storage 261 kWh Z BOX-C PLUS storage unit, achieved a sound level of up to 65 dB during noise testing.
When selecting such storage units for a storage farm, you won’t have to choose between economic benefits and acoustic comfort. A quiet storage unit is an excellent choice for those seeking industrial-grade equipment with integrated, user-friendly controls.
