Noise Immission Forecasts for the Approval of Battery Storage Systems, Transformers, Substations and High-voltage Lines
Transmission and storage solutions are an essential prerequisite for fully utilising the potential of renewable energies and ensuring security of supply. In addition to transformers, substations and high-voltage lines, these also include large-scale battery storage systems, which are becoming increasingly important. Capacity is already increasing significantly and is set to be massively expanded further.
Electrical systems are accompanied by noise emissions, among other things, and are therefore subject to immission control regulations such as the Federal Immission Control Act.
How loud are large battery storage systems and other electrical systems allowed to be?
In Germany, a noise immission forecast is required as part of the approval process for large battery storage systems, transformers, substations or high-voltage lines. The noise pollution here must not exceed the rating levels specified in the Technical Instructions on Noise Abatement (TA Lärm) for the respective area classification – for example, 60 dB(A) during the day and 45 dB(A) at night in mixed areas.
Legally compliant noise immission forecasts within a very short time
Noise immission forecasts and legally compliant expert reports are part of our core business. Thanks to our many years of experience, our broad-based team and standardised procedures and calculation methods, we can guarantee very short delivery times.
In addition, we can develop customised noise protection solutions if required and are on hand to advise you on legal and technical issues.
We are consultants and experts and are accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 for tests in the areas of noise and vibration determination, noise measurements on wind turbines, noise and vibrations at the workplace, aircraft noise, building acoustics and in the immission control module. We work nationwide as a measuring institute for the determination of vibrations as well as of emissions and immissions due to noise, announced according to § 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) (listing in ReSyMeSa).
Furthermore, we carry out quality tests according to DIN 4109. Wölfel Engineering is certified as a VMPA acoustic testing center. Our DAkkS registration number is D-PL-19254-01-00.
