1. Description

The dataset contains outputs from a discrete-event simulation (Python/SimPy) of a low-power IoT temperature-monitoring device, modeled according to the parameters described in the referenced paper. The experiments investigate different power management strategies implemented within the proposed DYNAMIC framework, with and without Energy Harvesting (EH).

The simulated device characteristics:



Battery: Li-Ion, 1000 mAh, voltage range 3.4–4.2 V

Communication module: Single transmission cost ~1.944 J (≈0.15 mAh at 3.6 V)

Default reporting interval: Every 5 minutes

EH model: 10 mA charging for 4 hours/day (~40 mAh/day)


Tested configurations:



No Power Management (noPM) — baseline

“Amount” Power Management Algorithm (amountPM)

“Slope” Power Management Algorithm (slopePM)Each was tested with and without Energy Harvesting.


Simulation length: 60 days (5,184,000 seconds) of operation.

2. File Contents

3. CSV File Format

Each .csv file contains comma-separated values with the following columns:



Elapsed Time (s) — Seconds since the beginning of the experiment.

Battery Charge (mAh) — Current battery state of charge.

User Experience Deviation (minutes)



If the device is operational, this is the difference in reporting latency compared to the default 5-minute interval (can be positive or negative).

If the device is offline due to battery depletion, the value represents the difference in minutes from the expected report time, up to a maximum of 60.
