Executive Summary Exp services Inc. (exp) was retained by Future Solar Developments Inc. to conduct an acoustic assessment for a proposed solar facility on the site located at 1572 Story Road in Midhurst, located in the Township of Springwater (herein referred to as the “Site”). The assessment was required for a Type 3 solar panel project under O.Reg. 359/09, Renewable Energy Approvals Under Part V.0.1 of the Act as amended by O.Reg. 521/10 and O.Reg. 231/11.

The proposed facility would comprise of a solar panel array, ground mounts for the array, twenty (20) Power One Aurora Uno 5kW inverter to convert Direct Current (DC) energy harvested by the panels to Alternating Current (AC), and one (1) transformer to step-up the power to enable feed into the Hydro One distribution system.

The proposed facility is to be located at 1572 Story Road, Midhurst in the Township of Springwater, Ontario, northeast of the intersection between Story Road, which runs east-west, and Russell Road, which runs north-south. The solar equipment is to be located west of the house located on the property (see Site plans in Appendix A).

The property consists largely of unmanicured land for recreational all-terrain vehicle use, as well as one house used as a private residence. There are neighbouring residential properties located south and east of the site. The property directly north of the site is used as a shooting range and private game retreat, which is forested except for the shooting range.

The noise assessment conducted and reported below was based on MOE guidance documentation (“Basic Comprehensive Certificates of Approval (Air) – User Guide”, MOE, 2004). The following summary presents results, conclusions, and recommendations:

Equipment to be operated at the site that has the potential to give rise to environmental noise is limited to twenty (20) inverter units and one (1) transformer. The operation of solar panels does not give rise to environmental noise.

The critical noise receptors have been identified as permanent residences. Point of Reception 1 (POR1) is located approximately 90 south of the Site, POR2 is located approximately 184 m east of the Site, POR3 is located approximately 230 m east of the Site, POR4 is located approximately 260 m southeast of the Site, POR5 is located approximately 350 m northeast of the Site, POR6 is located approximately 350 m east of the Site, POR7 is located approximately 360 m southeast of the Site, POR 8 is located approximately 420 m east of the Site, POR9 is located approximately 430 m east of the Site, POR10 is located approximately 490 m east of the Site, and POR11 is located approximately 495 m east of the Site. The reported distance is between the noise sources and the closer of the point of reception property boundary and a point 30 m from the permanent residence.

Potential noise impact from operation of the solar facility on the critical receptors was calculated and assessed versus criteria detailed in MOE NPC-232.

Solar facilities operate during daylight hours. The earliest sunrise at the Site is approximately 5:35 am and the latest sunset is approximately 9:10 pm. As such, it is appropriate to evaluate

the project against MOE daytime (07:00 – 19:00), evening (19:00 – 23:00) and nighttime (23:00 – 07:00) hours.

Simultaneous operation of stationary sources results in a calculated maximum noise impact of 30, 23, 21, 20, 18, 18, 18, 16, 16, 15, and 15 dBA at POR1, POR2, POR3, POR4, POR5, POR6, POR7, POR8, POR9, POR10 and POR11, respectively (all residential receptors). As the calculated noise impacts are significantly lower than the applicable MOE exclusionary limits of 45 / 40 / 40 dBA for daytime / evening /nighttime periods respectively, it is concluded that the proposed facility would be in compliance with MOE noise criteria.

This executive summary is a brief summary of the report and should not be used as substitute for reading the report in its entirety.

1 Introduction

Exp services Inc. (exp) was retained by Future Solar Developments Inc. to prepare an acoustic assessment report (AAR) for a proposed solar facility on the site located at 1572 Story Road, Midhurst in the Township of Springwater (herein referred to as the “Site”). The assessment was required for a Type 3 solar panel project under O.Reg. 359/09, Renewable Energy Approvals Under Part V.0.1 of the Act as amended by O.Reg. 521/10 and O.Reg. 231/11.

The proposed facility would comprise of a solar panel array, ground mounts for the array, twenty (20) Power One Aurora Uno 5kW inverters to convert Direct Current (DC) energy harvested by the panels to Alternating Current (AC), and one (1) transformer to step-up the power to enable feed into the Hydro One distribution system.

The proposed facility is to be located at 1572 Story Road, Midhurst in the Township of Springwater, Ontario. The Site is located northeast of the intersection between Story Road, which runs east-west, and Russell Road, which runs north-south. The solar equipment is to be located towards the southwest corner of the property (see Site plans in Appendix A).

The proposed project is considered a Type 3 Renewable Energy Project as it would have a maximum name plate capacity greater than 12 kW. The electricity produced by the solar facility is intended to be fed into a local Hydro One distribution line. Equipment to be installed at the facility complies with the Ontario manufactured percentages as required by the Ontario Power Authority’s Feed-in-Tariff Program.

This report assesses noise arising from identified sources, details the anticipated impact on the nearest receptors, and evaluates the calculated impact versus MOE criteria.

In accordance with legislative requirements, a copy of this report is to be made available to interested parties including the public and the local municipality at least 60 days prior to the final public consultation meeting.

2 Facility Description

The proposed facility consists of a ground-mounted solar array that will produce electricity from the sun’s energy. The direct current generated by the solar array will be converted into alternating current and transformed to enable power to be fed into the Hydro One Network.

The proposed solar array will be attached to mounts on concrete blocks installed in the ground and will occupy an area of approximately 65 by 66 metres. As such the facility represents a fixed system and therefore the array will not produce any noise (c.f. sun tracking arrays). The associated inverter and transformer will be located to the south side of the solar array.

The surrounding land use to the north, east, west, and south is Agricultural (A). A few areas of Environmental Protection (EP) are located northeast and east of the Site. Several zoning maps have been included in Appendix A, as well as Site Plan Aerial maps which show details of the surrounding properties. Zoning maps have been included in Appendix A, as well as Site Plan Aerial maps which show details of the surrounding properties. Given the existing land use and land use in the surrounding area, the project is considered to be in a rural environment. Whilst background sound measurements have not been taken in support of this assessment, the acoustical environment is expected to be dominated by natural sounds. The closest road is Story road, which is approximately 65 m from LP10. The next closest roads are Old 2 S which is 400 m away from LP10, and Russel road which is a distance of 660 m away from LP10. All three roads are unpaved; it can therefore be concluded that vehicles travelling on these roads are limited to local traffic (the roads aren’t used as major throughways) and traffic travels slower (50 km/hr) so as to not kick up gravel.

Solar facilities operate during daylight hours, the earliest sunrise at the Site is approximately 5:35 am and the latest sunset is approximately 9:10 pm. As such, it is appropriate to evaluate the project against MOE daytime (07:00 – 19:00), evening (19:00 – 23:00) and night time (23:00 – 07:00) hours.

3 Noise Source Summary

The locations of all noise sources can be found in the Site Location Aerial Maps (Appendix A).

3.1 Noise Sources

The following noise sources were identified:

Twenty (20) Power One Aurora Uno 5 kW inverter located south of the farm buildings; and,

One (1) oil-filled step-up transformer (make and model to be confirmed) located adjacent to the inverter.

The proposed solar array is a fixed system and therefore does not include motors etc. as required with tracking systems.

3.2 Road Traffic

Other than construction traffic, the proposed renewable energy project will result in minimal increase in on-site road traffic associated with servicing / maintenance visits as required. As such visits will be infrequent, road traffic noise associated with the proposed project is considered negligible.

3.3 Technical Information – Sources

Table 1 summarizes the specifications and locations of each significant stationary noise source of the proposed renewable solar energy project:

5 Assessment Criteria (Performance Limits)

The subject property is located in the Township of Springwater, a rural area (Class 3 Area). Criteria for assessing the impact of noise from stationary sources are provided in the MOE Publication NPC-232 (Sound Level Limits for Stationary Sources in Class 3 Areas (Rural), October 1995, Ministry of the Environment):

NPC-232 Table 232-1: Minimum Values of One Hour Leq or Llm by Time of Day

One Hour Leq (dBA) or LLM (dBAI)

Time of Day Class 3 Area

07:00 – 19:00 45

19:00 – 23:00 40

23:00 – 07:00 40

Dependent on day of the year, the facility may generate electricity between 5:35 and 21:10. All PORs are located in a Class 3 area where background noise is anticipated to be dominated by natural sounds. Therefore, the appropriate limits for total equipment operation are the MOE exclusionary limits of 45 dBA / 40 dBA (Class 3 Area, 07:00 – 19:00 (daytime operation) / 19:00 – 7:00 (evening and nighttime operation)).

6 Impact Assessment

Noise produced by the inverters was assessed by using the sound rating given in the manufacturer’s specifications for the unit. The manufacturer’s specifications for the inverters is provided in Appendix C.

In the absence of a selected make and model number, noise produced by the transformer was assessed based on data published in Table 0.3 of NEMA Standards Publication No. TR 1-1993 (R2000). The transformer size was conservatively assumed to be in the range 101 – 300 kVA (expected size is 100 kVA).

As the noise producing stationary sources at the facility are limited to twenty-one (21) pieces of equipment, with twenty sources grouped together, a simple assessment considering only attenuation due to geometric divergence using procedures detailed in ISO 9613 Part 2 has been conducted. This method of assessment is expected to produce a conservative estimate of noise impact as no consideration is given to attenuation through ground absorption, atmospheric absorption or barrier affects.

The predicted sound levels at the selected PORs due to operation of each noise source are summarized in Table 3 (Appendix B). Distances between each source and POR are also provided in this table.

Sample calculations are provided in Appendix D and an Acoustic Assessment Summary Table is provided as Table 4 in Appendix B.

Consideration of additional solar facilities known to be planned on the property at 1572 Story Road is provided in Section 7.

7 Impact of Known Additional Planned Solar Facilities

Exp has been requested to conduct a noise assessment of an additional proposed solar facility, Project LP9, that will be located on the property at 1572 Story Road in Midhurst. LP9 would be located approximately 500 m away from LP10, and further than 500 m away from PORs 1 through 11. It can therefore be concluded that the noise generated by the operation of LP 9 will have little effect on PORs 1 through 11.

8 Proposed Noise Control Measures

Noise control measures are not necessary for this renewable energy project since the noise resulting from the operation of the solar panels results in a noise level below the MOE exclusionary limits for daytime, evening and nighttime operation.

9 Conclusions

It is concluded that operation of stationary sources at the Site located at 1572 Story Road, Midhurst, in the Township of Springwater, Ontario, would result in noise levels at critical points of reception that are below MOE exclusionary limits for a Class 3 Area.

It is further concluded that, with respect to noise impact, operation of the proposed site would be compatible with existing land use planning guidance.

Simultaneous operation of the facility with the additional planned solar facility for 1572 Story Road, Midhurst, Ontario would result in noise levels at critical points of reception that are below MOE exclusionary limits for a Class 3 Area.

Appendix D –Calculations

Page 40: Future Solar Developments Inc.futuresolardevelopments.com/.../assets/...Report_LP10.30400432.pdf · Future Solar Developments Inc. Acoustic Assessment Report Type of Document Final

Calculation of Sound Power Levels

Inverter

Power One Aurora Uno 5kW inverter specifications indicate a sound pressure level of <50 dB(A) at a distance of 1 m. Sound power level for the inverter has been calculated using the following equation:

Lw = Lp – log(dr/dt) +11

Where:

Lw = sound power (dBA)

dr = Reference distance (1 m)

dt = Test distance

Lw = 50 – log(1/1) + 11 = 61 dB(A)

In the absence of frequency spectra for the inverter it has been assumed that noise from the inverter is tonal and a 5 dB penalty has therefore been applied as required by Section 4 of NPC-104.

Transformer

In the absence of a transformer make and model number, sound pressure has been calculated using data published in NEMA TR 1 – 1993 (R2000) Table 0.3. From Table 0.3, for an immersed (fluid filled) transformer:

Transformer Size Average Sound Pressure (at ≤1 m)

51 – 100 kVA 51 dB

101 – 300 kVA 55 dB

Anticipated transformer size is 100 kVA, as this size is at the limit of a size range the average sound pressure (at ≤1m) for the next highest size range has been conservatively applied. The sound power level for the transformer has been calculated using the following equation:

Lw = Lp – log(dr/dt) +11

Where:

Lw = sound power (dBA)

dr = Reference distance (1 m)

dt = Test distance

Lw = 55 – log(1/1) + 11 = 66.0 dB(A)

In the absence of frequency spectra for the inverter it has been assumed that noise from the transformer is tonal and a 5 dB penalty has therefore been applied as required by Section 4 of NPC-104.

Sound Pressure Levels

Sound pressure levels have been calculated conservatively assuming that sound attenuation between the source and the PORs was due solely to geometric divergence (atmospheric absorption, barriers and absorptive ground were not taken into consideration).

The on-site road traffic associated to the renewable energy project will be restricted to occasional visits for maintenance or engineering purposes. As such traffic will be infrequent and so excluded as per Annex to Publication NPC-232 section A.3 (2).

The following equations were employed to calculate sound pressure at points of reception from source power levels including attenuation due to geometric divergence only (from ISO 9613 (Part 2) and to calculate the total sound pressure level at points of reception due to operation of multiple stationary sources:

2 1 20 log1

Where:

r1 = distance 1 (reference)

r2 = distance 2 (receptor

Lp1 = Sound pressure level at r1

Lp2 = Sound pressure level at r2

10logLn

Where:

Ltot = total sound pressure at POR for all sources

Ln = sound pressure level at POR from source n

Example Calculations:

I01 – Inverter is located 86 m from POR1 and generates a sound pressure of <50 dBA at a distance of 1 m (manufacturer’s specifications). In the absence of frequency data a penalty of 5 dBA has been applied for possible tonality.

Sound pressure at 1 m = 55 dBA

As each inverter generates the same sound pressure level at 1 m and is approximately the same distance from POR1:
