Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the driven resonant-level model is studied using numerical simulations based on the driven Liouville von-Neumann formalism. The approach is first validated against recently obtained analytical results for quasistatic level shifts and the corresponding first-order corrections. The numerical approach is then used to study far-from-equilibrium thermodynamic properties of the system under finite level shift rates. The proposed methodology allows the study of unexplored nonequilibrium thermodynamic regimes in open quantum systems.
