power management
Battery life optimization
Power management is the control of electrical energy consumption in devices and systems.
In computing, it includes features like sleep mode, screen dimming, and processor throttling to extend battery life: Check your power management settings if your laptop dies too quickly.
In larger contexts, power management encompasses how buildings or grids distribute and conserve electricity.
Maximizing efficiency or performance
- consumptionUsing up of resources
- load balancingDistributing work across resources
- standbyReady substitute awaiting use
- throttlingRestricting flow or speed
