The selfpoweredsys library was developed to simulate self-powered sensors operating under a fluctuating energy source.
Features and capabilities:
- Functions to automatically download streamflow velocity data from the usgs NWIS database and evaluate missing samples.
- To simulate energy generation from minituarized hydro turbine models and streamflow data.
- To simulate energy storage and consumption by a sensor station.
- To evaluate the operation of the self-powered monitoring station given energy consumption, storage and generation.
Modules:
- Energy Harvesting Evironment (environment)
- Energy Storage (estorage)
- Energy Harvester (harvester)
- Energy Consumption (load)
- Simulation Main Scripts (simtools)
