AC Power Comsumption Dataset

This dataset offers a unique compilation of AC power consumption signals from four different computing devices, encompassing a variety of software applications. Each entry in the dataset meticulously records the intricate fluctuations in power usage as specific software programs are initiated and terminated, providing a 40-second window into the energy profile of each application. With a high-resolution sampling rate of 44100Hz, the dataset captures the nuanced energy demands placed on the electrical infrastructure, conforming to the 220V, 50Hz standard. Tailored for researchers delving into the realm of non-intrusive profiling and power side-channel analysis, this dataset serves as a foundational tool for advancing the detection of software activity through power consumption patterns. The diversity of devices and operating systems included—ranging from various Windows laptops to Linux desktops—presents a comprehensive resource for developing and benchmarking algorithms aimed at identifying and categorizing power usage signatures within the growing field of cyber-physical system security.
