In flat electron storage rings, only the vertical component of the beam polarization is preserved. During acceleration, the crossing of several depolarizing resonances may cause severe beam depolarization. Even in case of fast ramping speeds of up to 6 GeV/sec, first order effects like imperfection and intrinsic resonances have to be compensated by dedicated measures. At the accelerator facility ELSA, schemes like fast tune jumping and harmonic orbit correction are successfully applied on the fast energy ramp up to 3.2 GeV. Characteristics of the setup as well as the optimization efforts to improve the resonance compensation will be reported in detail.
