  ARIEL e-LINAC is a ½ MW-class SRF accelerator operated at 10 mA of average current. In the initial commissioning, e-LINAC will be tested with increasing duty factors from 0.1% up to CW mode. During the pulsed mode operation, beam loading causes cavity gradient fluctuation and therefore transient behaviour of SRF Cavity gradient needs to be studied in order to determine how the Low-level RF (LLRF) should be implemented. Performance of LLRF control system with and without non-adaptive feed-forward are simulated to determine the resulting beam energy spread and experimental measurements are proposed to measure the increase of beam size due to beam loading.
