Abstract


Abstract

Noise is all around us in all sorts of forms. In the common use of the word, noise refers to sound. However, noise can more accurately be thought of as random variations that are always present in one or more parts of any entity such as voltage, current, or even data. Growth of standby generators and power installations resulting from epileptic power supply, design engineers have focused their attention in understanding how generator set noise is propagated and controlled. The high cost of retrofitting a site for noise reduction makes it imperative to assess noise performance requirements early in the on-site power system design stage. By applying the principles, power system designers and end users alike will be able to more easily control unwanted noise from their on-site power system.
