Ramp rate control in large scale PV power plants can be considered as a power service with medium energy reserve requirement, as in the previous case. The main differences are: i) in ramp rate service, the response time is more critical ( < 2 s) and the cyclability becomes more important as PV power ramps are frequent events.
