Power Ramp-Rate Control via power regulation for storageless grid-connected photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic Power Ramp-Rate Control (PRRC) constitutes a key ancillary service for future power systems. Although its implementation through the installation of storage systems or irradiance sensors has been widely investigated, fewer studies have explored the power curtailment approach. The latter...
