Power topic #7015: Generator set noise solutions: Controlling unwanted noise from on–site power systems. By Dennis Aaberg, Senior Acoustics Specialist 
With the growth of standby, prime and peaking power installations in highly populated areas, design engineers have focused their attention on 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 outlined in this paper, power system designers and end users alike will be able to more easily control unwanted noise from their on–site power system. Case History: Alberta Children’s Hospital — Canada The state–of–the–art, 133–bed, 750,000–square–foot Alberta Children’s Hospital was designed for speedy recoveries and power reliability. Officials chose Cummins Power Generation Inc. to provide emergency standby power for all of the hospital’s electrical needs in the event of a utility outage.
