The noise of battery energy storage system (BESS) technology has “exploded” as a concern in the last six months, an executive from system integrator Wartsila ES&O said.

We caught up with James Li, European energy storage director of inverter and BESS provider Sungrow, at the Energy Storage Summit EU 2024.

While more energy-dense BESS units mean packing more into smaller footprints, they may have additional implications for noise and fire safety, a developer source told Energy-Storage.news.
