If ramp rates vary based on the operating mode (e.g. regulation), please provide separately.] [Timing should commence with system at a steady-state starting value and end when system has reached a steady-state ending value. Idle means that the system is neither charging nor discharging, but is online and available for immediate operation. Time should include time from notification.] [For the purpose of filling out this Appendix, Discharge (Charge) Start-up Time is the amount of time needed to go from non-operation to Dmin (Cmin). (The state of non-operation includes but is not limited to being unsynchronized to the grid.) Provide in seconds if appropriate.] [Describe start limitations.
