Past ten years of noise control in the electric utilities
During the past ten years, electric utility industry noise abatement activities have focused on quantifying noise emissons from proposed facilities and on abating noise from new facilities. Several studies have been undertaken in order to achieve these goals by the following electric utility organizations: The Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the principal association of investor owned American utilities; Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), an organization founded by American electric utilities to develop and manage a technology program for improving electric power production, distribution and utilization; and the Empire State Electric Energy Research Corporation (ESEERCO), a research organization sponsored by the investor owned utilities in New York State. Presented in this paper are summaries of several studies sponsored by electric utility industry groups that have contributed to increasing the available information on electric utility noise emissions and the abatement of those emissions.
