1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to assess the noise emitted by the installations of the BFG Power Plant
of Electrabel at Knippegroen Gent. Two assessments are executed namely:
Sound pressure levels at 1 m distance of the installations (Near Field) in order to check the
noise limits specified in the Siemens Noise Acceptance Test Procedure with ref.
EN32/2009/201 and based on the specification under 6.1.5 in the contract of Electrabel
Engineering with ref. RDH-SID/4C/79888/000/00 page 37 and 38 of 64:
o All equipment designed in order to meet LpA 85 dB(A) at 1 m from equipment
surface or associated enclosures and 1.5m above levels normally accessible to
personnel, under all operation conditions. Except higher levels acceptable by law.
o For safety and by-pass station valves opening; than 125 dB(A) at 1m allowed and
generator circuit breaker opening; than 95 dB(A) at 1m allowed.
o 50 dB(A) in control rooms (Power Control Centers excluded), offices and meeting
rooms (only stable noise from air ventilation and air conditioning considered).
o 70 dB(A) in warehouse and workshop (excluded local machines use).
o 70 dB(A) in relay - and electrical rooms (only stable noise from air ventilation and air
conditioning considered).
Specific noise (Far Field) assessed to 50 dB(A) at 200m of the border of the Plant, 40 dB(A) at
the nearest dwelling outside the industrial area (in direction of R4) and 30 dB(A) at 500m of the
border of the industrial area (in direction of R4).
o Specific noise will be measured in these immission points by measuring the
background, the immission at maximum load and the immission with by-pass
conditions.
o In case theres too many difference between the signal and the background noise:
Additional measurements at 7m height will be performed at the surrounding border
of the site (Strber method, ISO 8297) for calculating the noise emission in the
horizontal plane (and this by Max Load, Bypass operation and Background noise).
The noise emission of the high placed noise sources on the roofs of the highest
building (UHA and UMA) will be measured separately (according to ISO 3746) and
this for Max Load and Bypass operation. The noise immission in the evaluation
points east of the site (MP 200m, MP A and MP B) will be calculated according ISO
9613.
The noise study takes into account measurements executed on site during March and April 2010.

4 APPLICABLE LEGISLATION
4.1
Environmental noise in Flanders concerning the far field levels
4.1.1 General
An important distinction that needs to be taken into account in the Flemish environmental law
concerning the noise section of an Environmental Impact Assessment, is the difference between
existing establishments (existing installation) and new establishments (new installations).
Briefly explained, an existing establishment is defined as an establishment that on 1.01.93 (coming into
force of the original Vlarem II) was licensed or for which before 1.09.91 (coming into force of Vlarem I) a
license application had been submitted. New establishments are establishments that on 1.01.1993 were
not yet in operation and with extension establishments that were in operation on this date, but for
which a license was not applied for or notification provided on time.
The type of establishment determines to which standards the measured/calculated values need to be
assayed. Environmental quality standards are standards established by the Flemish Government that
determine which quality requirements the parts of the environment must meet within the periods set by
the government. These standards can be established in the form of limit values and guide values. Limit
values may in principle not be exceeded and are applied to new establishments and thus also to a
planned situation or a reference situation if the industrial site has new installations. Guide values are
comparable with limit values, but their binding nature is less great. These values are applied to existing
establishments and thus to the existing establishments in of a reference situation and never to a
planned situation.
The purpose of the noise measurements in the framework of the Environmental Impact Assessment of
an industrial site executed by SGS is firstly to determine the influence of the site on the acoustical
climate in the near surroundings in the actual situation (= reference situation) and secondly to determine
the influence of an extension of the industrial site on the acoustical climate (= planned situation).
The influence of the industrial site on the acoustical climate in the near surroundings in the reference
situation can be determined in two ways:
Firstly, a long-term measurement is carried out taking into consideration the Vlarem legislation. The
results are assessed to environmental quality standards (guide values) by means of the LA95 parameter,
a good estimator of the particular noise level of a stable source in the presence of perturbing noise. The
guide values depend on the assessment period and the area in which the point lies (see Table below).
Secondly, a three dimensional acoustical model in which the sound power level of the most important
sources on the industrial site, height of buildings, level of the ground differences, are incorporated
calculates the immission level (= specific noise produced by the industrial site) in different assessment
points at 200m (imposed by Vlarem but deviations are possible) of the boundary of the industrial site.
The calculated values are assessed to the guide values (see table below) or limit values depending on
the type of establishment (new or existing). As explained above the limit values are stricter and depend
on the one hand on the area in which the assessment point lies and on the other hand on the LA95 value
of the sound that existed before the new installations were functioning (=original sound in the
surroundings). If the original sound pressure level around the industrial site is not known, the limit value

for new installations is obtained by reducing the limit values of existing installations (Table 4.1) with 5
dB(A) according to the decision diagram in appendix 4.5.6 of Vlarem II.

4.1.2 Immission points used to evaluate the specific noise of the BFG Power
Plant
The position of the evaluation point on the land use map is shown in Figure 7.1 in Annex 1.
MP 200m is situated in Industrial area so the guide value of 55 dB(A) has to be applied. Cause
no original background measurements are available, the limit value of 50 dB(A) during night
period has to be applied.
MP A: immision point at closest dwellings @ 530m east of the centre of the power plant is
situated in living area but closer than 500m from the industrial area (so area 2 of Table 4.1), the
guide value of 45 dB(A) has to be applied. The specific noise of the new installations has to
fulfils at the limit values. The original stable noise is measured in a nearby very similar position
(MP 2 in the E.I.E.). The original stable noise at night period (mean of 4 lowest LA95,1h-levels
during the night period (22.00 till 07.00 hour) measured during one week) was 46 dB(A). So the
limit value is 41 dB(A). In accordance the Electrabel specifications the most severe limit value of
40 dB(A) shall be taken.
MP B: immision point at the closest dwellings in living area (with rural character) @ > 500m
from the industrial area (so area 4 of Table 4.1), the guide value of 35 dB(A) has to be applied.

The specific noise of the new installations has to fulfils at the limit values. The original stable
noise is measured in a nearby very similar position (MP 2 in measurement report 04.0575 for
the planned STEG at Sidmar). The original stable noise at night period was 42 dB(A). So the
limit value is 35 dB(A). In accordance the Electrabel specifications the most severe limit value of
30 dB(A) shall be taken.
4.2
Extract of Legislation in Belgium concerning the near field levels
4.2.1 Exposure limit values and exposure action values

For the KB from 16 January 2006 the exposure limit values and exposure action values in respect of the
daily noise exposure levels and peak sound pressure are fixed at:
(a) exposure limit values: LEX,8h = 87 dB(A) and Ppeak = 140 dB(C) in relation to 20 Pa;
(b) upper exposure action values: LEX,8h = 85 dB(A) and Ppeak = 137 dB(C) in relation to 20 Pa;
(c) lower exposure action values: LEX,8h = 80 dB(A) and Ppeak = 135 dB(C) in relation to 20 Pa
When applying the exposure limit values, the determination of the worker's effective exposure shall take
account of the attenuation provided by the individual hearing protectors worn by the worker. The
exposure action values shall not take account of the effect of any such protectors.
the employer shall give particular attention, when carrying out the risk assessment, to the following:
(a) the level, type and duration of exposure, including any exposure to impulsive noise;
(b) the exposure limit values and the exposure action values;
(c) any effects concerning the health and safety of workers belonging to particularly sensitive
risk groups;
(d) as far as technically achievable, any effects on workers health and safety resulting from
interactions between noise and work-related ototoxic substances, and between noise and
vibrations;
(e) any indirect effects on workers' health and safety resulting from interactions between noise
and warning signals or other sounds that need to be observed in order to reduce the risk of
accidents;
(f) information on noise emission provided by manufacturers of work equipment;
(g) the existence of alternative work equipment designed to reduce the noise emission;
(h) the extension of exposure to noise beyond normal working hours under the employer's
responsibility;
(i) appropriate information obtained following health surveillance, including published
information, as far as possible;
(j) the availability of hearing protectors with adequate attenuation characteristics.
4.2.2 Practical interpretation of exposure action values for BFG Power plant
The upper exposure level of 85 dB(A) corresponds with an exposure time of 8 hours.
To show workers noise exposure during a normal working day, for an exposure time of 2 hours
(e.g. inspection time inside buildings) the equivalent sound pressure level of LAeq in dB(A)
corresponds to an exposure level Lex, 2h or exposure level of 85dB(A) - 6 dB
1 hour of exposure at 85 dB(A) corresponds with an Lex, 1h level of 85dB(A) - 9 dB
0.5 hour exposure at 85 dB(A) corresponds with an Lex, 0.5h level of 85dB(A) - 12 dB
SGS Belgium NV

Siemens NV Energy
For example; if workers are exposed 1 hour at 85 dB(A) and the rest of the day (7 hours) at exposure
levels of 70 dB(A). The daydosis shall be 1/8x85 dB(A) + 7/8x70 dB(A) = 76 dB(A)+ 69.4dB(A) = 76.9
dB(A).
5 MEASUREMENTS @ 1 M DISTANCE NEAR FIELD

The noise level measurements inside/outside rooms or buildings and in the near field of
machines/components were performed at a height of 1.5 m above the ground level and above working
platforms normally accessible to personnel. Measurements in the near field of machines/components
were executed at a horizontal distance of 1 m from the equipment surface and its acoustic attenuation
devices.
The noise levels were measured over a time interval of at least 10 seconds and logarithmic averaged
over the number of measurement locations around the machine/component or within/outside the
room/building.
The spatially averaged sound pressure level will be determined by using the following formula:
LAeq (av) =10 LOG10 [(1/N) (10 (0,1 (LAeq(1)) .... + 10 (0,1 (LAeq(N)) )]
(1)
Legend:
LAeq(av) is the frequency-dependent equivalent continuous sound pressure level, spatially averaged over
all microphone positions, selected for the tested area.
N is the number of the microphone position selected for the tested area.

The average level in the boiler building during steam turbine bypass operation is 91.2 dB(A).
Conclusion: During 100% steam turbine bypass operation the average level in UMA and UHA are higher
than the upper action level of 85dB(A) according the law. During this operational case, it is obligated to
wear ear protection. The near field measurements at bypass operation were just for info. The steam
turbine bypass operation is excluded in the scope of the contract for the near field levels (see chapter
1).

During base load and/or maximum load operation
In the most relevant buildings UMA and UHA measurements were executed during maximum load
operation at 09 April 2010. The generator output was than between 321.8 and 324.7 MW.
In the other buildings and around the other installations measurements were executed during base load
operation at 07 April 2010. The generator output was than 313 MW.
In UMA extra measurements were executed during steel gas pressure control operation in the afternoon
of 08 April 2010. The generator output was then between 267.9 and 288.5 MW.
More details about the working regimes are given in Annex 2.
5.2.1 In the control room building UCA

Measurements are executed d.d. 08/04/2010 at work places with HVAC installations at maximum level
and with no contribution of noise caused by the mobile inventory in these rooms as well as that caused
by the staff (talking, phone, ).

With the 8 additional measurements on positions around the Feedwater pumps (with 2 of 3 working) the
average level in UMA is 86.1 dB(A). Without the feedwater pump area the average level is 81.9 dB(A),
so 0.3 dB(A) higher than during base load.
The average level on floor 14.5m and floor 0m (without feedwater pump area) in UMA is during
maximum load and base load sufficiently below the contractually agreed near field noise level of 85
dB(A). Therefore according to the law, hearing protectors have to be provided when entering the
building. The average level around the feedwaterpumps is 92.0 dB(A) and as an 8-hour doses above
the upper action level of 85 dB(A) according the law. Entering this area for a longer time, it is obliged to
wear ear protection.
The spatially averaged sound pressure level of 85 dB(A) corresponds to an exposure level of 85dB(A)
with an exposure time of 8 hours. To show workers noise exposure during a normal working day, for an
exposure time of 2 hours (e.g. inspection time inside turbine building) the spatially averaged sound
pressure level of LAeq in dB(A) corresponds to an exposure level Lex, 2h of:
UMA during base load (excl. Feedwater Pump Area): LAeq = 81,6dB(A) Lex, 2h = 75,6dB(A)
UMA during max load (excl. Feedwater Pump Area): LAeq = 81,9dB(A) Lex, 2h = 75,9dB(A)
UMA during max load (incl. Feedwater Pump Area) LAeq = 86,1dB(A) Lex, 2h = 80,1dB(A)
UMA during bypass operation LAeq = 99,8dB(A) Lex, 2h = 93,8dB(A)
Taking into account the measured noise levels inside UMA during several operational cases, exposure
time and personal hearing protection, we can conclude that the contractual obligations are fulfilled.

The average levels at the different levels of UHA and the total average level in UHA, during maximum
load, are under the contractually agreed near field noise level of 85 dB(A).
The spatially averaged sound pressure level of 85 dB(A) corresponds to an exposure level of 85dB(A)
with an exposure time of 8 hours. To show workers noise exposure during a normal working day, for an
exposure time of 2 hours (e.g. inspection time inside boiler building) the spatially averaged sound
pressure level of LAeq in dB(A) corresponds to an exposure level Lex, 2h of:
UHA during max load: LAeq = 82.0dB(A) Lex, 2h = 76dB(A)
UHA during bypass operation LAeq = 91.2dB(A) Lex, 2h = 85.2dB(A)
Taking into account the measured noise levels inside UHA during several operational cases, exposure
time and personal hearing protection (during bypass operation), we can conclude that the contractual
obligations are fulfilled.

6 MEASUREMENTS IN THE FAR FIELD

6.1
Regimes of the BFG Power Plant and evaluation points to consider
The specific noise of following conditions has to be considered:

normal operating conditions from minimum to maximum load,
included start up operation, shut down operation and steam turbine bypass operation.
The specific noise of following conditions (abnormal transients) has not to be considered:
safety valve operation,
commissioning phase and temporary test operating conditions,
emergency conditions (e.g. diesel generator operation)
noise generated by sources supplied by others.
More details about the working regimes during the far field measurements are given in Annex 2.
The specific noise (Far Field Level) will be evaluated at:
MP200m: At 200m of the border of the Plant in the direction of the nearest dwelling (direction
east from the Plant). The specific noise is contractually agreed to be equal or lower than 50
dB(A).
MPA: at the nearest dwelling outside the industrial area (east from the Plant in the direction of
R4). The specific noise is contractually agreed to be equal or lower than 40 dB(A).
MPB: at 500m of the border of the industrial area (direction east from the Plant). The specific
noise is contractually agreed to be equal or lower than 30 dB(A).
MPC: at 700m of the center of the Plant in the north-east direction (down wind condition during
measurements at maximum load and bypass operation). No noise limit applicable, so for
information only.
The position of the evaluation points is shown in Figure 7.1 and Figure 7.2 of Annex 1.
Because the power plant can work during the night period, immission measurements and evaluation will
be executed at 4 m height (average height of sleeping rooms).
6.2
Specific noise by immission measurements at the evaluation points
To avoid noise disturbance off the traffic all far field measurements were executed during the night
period.
The background measurements were executed d.d. 17 March 2010 from 2.30 till 3.30 hour, with
wind from SSW and with average speed between 0 to 4 km/h.
The measurements with maximum load operation were executed d.d. 18 March 2010 from 1.10
till 2.00 hour and with wind from S with average speed between 0 to 5 km/h.
The measurements with steam turbine bypass operation were executed d.d. 20 March 2010
from 2.00 till 2.45 hour, with wind from various direction between SE and SW and with average
speed between 8 to 16 km/h.
More details about the weather conditions during the immission measurements are given in Annex 4.

All details about the measuring results at evaluation points are given in Annex 3.
Because the noise off a Power Plant is a very stable noise the LA95,5min.-level can be used to characterize
the specific noise of the BFG plant. In the table underneath a summary of the LA95,5min-levels.

* Because backgroundlevels were higher than the signal levels, the specific noise could not be
calculated with immission measurements at the evaluation points. The background noise is probably to
much influenced by the changing stable noise sources from the neighbouring factories and/or the
slightly different wind direction during the background measurements (17 March 2010) with regard to the
measurements with maximum load (18 March 2010) and with bypass operation (20 March 2010). The
noise contribution of the Power Plant has no specific influence at the evaluation points, therefore it can
be stated, that the specific noise of the power plant is more than 10dB below the background noise in
the evaluation points
** In MPB during maximum load was a higher signal level than the background level. But the signal to
noise ratio was lower than 3 dB, so the calculated specific noise of 39 dB(A) is an estimation.
The specific noise at the evaluation points shall be calculated by noise emission measurements
(according ISO 3746 and ISO 8297) and sound propagation calculations (according ISO 9613).
6.3
Noise emission measurements
For measuring the sound power level of the noise sources at ground level and the sound radiation from
faades (relevant noise sources in the horizontal plane) the Strber method (according ISO 8297) was
used. Therefore measurements at 7 m height at the plant boundary were executed during standstill
(background measurements), during maximum load and during steam turbine bypass operation.
Because the noise off a Power Plant is a very stable noise the LA95,1.5min.-levels were used to
characterize the specific noise of the BFG plant at the plant boundary. In the table underneath, a
summary of the LA95,1.5min-levels measured at the plant boundary. Locations of these measuring points
are given in Figure 7.2.

Based on the 1/3-octave L95,1.5min.-sound pressure levels at the plant boundary, a calculation of the
sound powerlevel (LwA according to ISO 8297) has been done. The detailed calculations are inserted in
Annex 5.
Remarks:
At position 12 and position 15 were some power plant sources audible during the background
measurements. Respectively the recirculation pumps of the cooling water at position 12
(recirculation to avoid freezing/ bacteriological growth) and the auxiliary boiler at position 15 (for
heating the buildings). The background levels in these positions are the mean levels of the two
neighbouring positions during background measurements. This to avoid underestimation of the
specific level during maximum load or bypass conditions.
At maximum load the difference between the highest level (68.4 dB(A) in position 11) and the
lowest level (42 dB(A) in position 9) is > 10 dB(A). With bypass operation the difference
between the highest level (68.9 dB(A) in position 10) and the lowest level (45.4 dB(A) in position
5) is > 10 dB(A). The power plant has a northern directivity because of the mayor influence of
the suction side of the cooling towers (northern suction side and reflection of southern suction
side against UMA and UHA). Because of this directivity a combined method will be applied. The
LwA calculated with the uncorrected Strber levels (normally correction in step 2+3) will be
adjusted with the measured directivity (sound radiation in each separate direction).
All calculation were performed with 1/3-octave L95,1.5min.-levels. Because of the changing
influence of the stable noise sources of the neighbouring factory, some spectral signal levels
(max. load or bypass) were lower than the corresponding background levels. For these 1/3octaves a level of the signal level minus 10 dB is assumed.
With the Strber method the noise emission in the horizontal plane is covered. We can assume that the
sound power level of the noise sources at the roofs of the highest buildings (UHA and UMA) were not
included in the calculated LwA with the Stber method. Therefore additional soundpower measurements
according ISO 3746 at following sources were performed:

The noise calculation model
The specific noise of the power plant is calculated with a three-dimensional acoustical model program
IMMI 2009 The program Immi is efficient for acoustical modeling in open air. All calculations were
executed according to ISO 9613.
The model contains following parameters:
Information about the terrain such as height, distances,

All geometric elements with there own acoustical parameters. A brick wall has another reflection
coefficient than for instance a dike of soil.
Each source has its own sound power level (spectrum in 1/3-octaves) and directivity. Each type
of source has a typical emission pattern (the eastern exhaust on UMA has another sound
radiation pattern than the ventilation on top of UHA).
The number of reflections is adjusted to 2.
Furthermore according to ISO 9613 the Immi noise calculation model pays attention to:
SGS Belgium NV
28/04/2010

Geometric extension, reduces in function of the distance;

Atmospheric reduction in function of the air temperature (10C) and air humidity (relative
humidity 70%);
Reflection of an acoustical wave on a reflecting surface. The reflection depends on the wave
length and the dimensions of the reflecting surface.
Between each source and evaluation point the ground effect will be calculated in 1/3-octave
bands;
The absorption of acoustical energy by a soft surface (depends on the frequency)
A slight wind (direction source receiver) of 2 m/s is assumed.
The immission height is 4m. The source positions are shown in Figure 7.29 in Annex 1.

With bypass operation there is a slight overcrossing of the most severe noise limit at MPB (contractually
agreed level of 30 dB(A)). This slight overcrossing is neglectable because:
The neglectable impact of the specific noise during bypass on the original environment noise in
MPB (LAeq during background measurements in was MPB 48.1 dB(A)). 30.5 dB(A) + 48.1 dB(A)
= 48.2 dB(A). A rise of 0.1 dB(A) is not audible.
30 dB(A) is the most severe noise limit. According to Vlarem II the original background noise
must be considered to fix the noise limit. Because of the high original stable noise (42 dB(A) cfr.
heading 4.1.2), the noise limit of 35 dB(A) can be used.

7 CONCLUSIONS
SGS Belgium and Siemens carried out Noise Acceptance Tests on site when the BFG Gent SPP5-5000
was in continuous operation (Plant Base Load/ Plant Maximum Load) and bypass operation for the far
field noise measurements.
The objective of the Noise Acceptance Test was to check whether the required noise levels are met.
The Near Field Noise Acceptance Tests were performed on April 7th to 9th 2010 by Mr. De Winter
SGS Belgium Department Noise and Vibrations) and by Mr. Jttner (Siemens AG Energy- EN32
Acoustics).
The Far Field Noise Acceptance Tests were performed on March 16th to 19th 2010 by Mr. De Winter
SGS Belgium Department Noise and Vibrations) and by Mr. Jttner (Siemens AG Energy- EN32
Acoustics).
The Noise Acceptance Tests shows the following essential results:
The agreed near field noise levels are met outside all buildings and installations.
The agreed near field noise levels are exceeded inside Power Control Centers
In the area around the Feedwater pumps on ground level in the steam turbine building the
upper action level of 85 dB(A) can be overcrossed when working in this area for longer than 2
hours. Taking into account the measured noise levels inside UMA during several operational
cases, exposure time and personal hearing protection, we can conclude that the contractual
obligations are fulfilled.
The wearing of Ear protection is obliged when working around the Feedwater pumps for longer
than 2 hours and during bypass operation in UMA and UHA.
The agreed near field noise levels are met inside all other buildings.
The agreed far field noise levels are met during maximum load and bypass operation
