Noise Mitigation Guidelines for Grid-Scale Battery Energy Storage Systems

How early-stage noise mitigation and system design support compliance in urban and industrial BESS deployments.

White Paper

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are essential for grid reliability, especially in urban and industrial areas. As installations move closer to residential zones, managing operational noise becomes a key planning requirement.

This study examines a 550 MW mtu EnergyPack QG project in the UK that met strict compliance targets using proactive modeling and mitigation via:

  • Optimized layout and enclosure concepts tailored to each site
  • Smart thermal management with adaptive fan speed control
  • Technical strategies that support local noise regulations and permit approvals

Backed by engineering expertise and industry-leading technology, Rolls-Royce is your reliable partner in addressing noise emissions from the outset – ensuring quieter, compliant and future-ready storage solutions.
