Abstract:

Thermal power generation produces significant noise during normal operation，primarily stemming from mechanical noise generated by equipment such as steam turbines and various water pumps，aerodynamic noise produced by devices like fans and air compressors，and electromagnetic noise emanating from equipment like generators and transformers. Prolonged exposure to noise in the workplace may lead to central nervous system dysfunction，elevated hearing threshold，hearing loss，and occupational noise deafness in severe cases. As China's industrial standards improve，the issue of noise pollution in thermal power generation has garnered significant social attention. This article examines the sources of noise in thermal power generation and the existing occupational disease prevention facilities，analyzes the challenges in the control process，and summarizes potential solutions.

Key words: Thermal power generation, Noise, Engineering protection, Personal protection, Challenges, Solution
