AlternatingEpEnergyConsumer¶

simple module AlternatingEpEnergyConsumer

This energy consumer model alternates between two modes called consumption and sleep mode. In consumption mode, it consumes a randomly selected constant power for a random time interval. In sleep mode, it doesn’t consume energy for another random time interval.
