Key Property:No
Description:Rate at which units are ramping

Generator Ramp is the change in output in the period and is defined as:

Rampt = Generationt - Generation(t - 1)

where t indexes periods of the simulation. The t=0 value of Generation refers to the previous simulation step and for step one it is set with the Initial Generation property.

Limits on ramping are defined with the Max Ramp Up and Max Ramp Down properties.
