Abstract

This paper presents "SimPlayGround" - a framework for the stimulative evaluation of reactive and proactive power-management approaches in distributed energy harvesting systems. Our simulation framework combines the simulation of wireless communication, the behavior of reversible power supplies and the dynamics of power consumption. It supports models of the environmental power and energy harvesters with an on-line computation of aviable power, so that the control of the simulated system can base on it.
