The global surge in utility-scale energy storage presents exciting opportunities, but also new challenges. As BESS projects get larger and move closer to residential areas to address critical energy reliability and stability needs, one key challenge is system and project-level acoustics. By managing noise-induced stress and mechanical fatigue from design to commissioning, we can ensure these vital systems operate at their peak, minimising disruption and maximising value.

This webinar, with Wärtsilä Energy Storage and Optimisation’s acoustics expert, Sharon Santhosh, will explain the intricate relationship between sound and system performance, revealing how proactive acoustic design offers significant benefits. Sharon will demonstrate how advanced acoustic strategies—from soundproofing and noise barriers to cutting-edge vibration dampening—directly translate to enhanced operational efficiency, extended equipment lifespan, and stronger community relations.  

Drawing on real-world case studies and the latest research, the latest research, Sharon will illustrate the tangible impact of acoustic optimisation, including reduced maintenance expenses and increased system reliability. She will also explore the essential role of stakeholder engagement, outlining effective strategies for noise impact assessments, mitigation measures, and navigating regulatory policies.   

Join us on Tuesday, February 25th to unlock the full potential of your BESS investments with effective acoustic management.
