*4.2. Abrupt Disturbances: Case Study 2*

Figure 18 shows the total power of the proposed PV-BES system (designed in previous section) in response to the real solar intensity measured at Lowry Range Solar Station on 18 March 2013 [31] for different power ramp settings (0.5%/minute, 1%/minute, 5%/minute). It demonstrates that the BES reduces the impact of the abrupt PV disturbances and smooths the power profile with the desired ramp rate.
