It also ensures that all elements of the system—applications, devices, and user interface—can take advantage of the vast improvements in power management technology and capabilities.
The Windows operating system uses power-management hardware to put the computer into a low-power sleep state instead of shutting down completely, so that the system can quickly resume working. The operating system will automatically enter the sleep state when the computer is idle or when the user presses a button to indicate that the current work session is over.
To the user, the system appears to be off. While in the sleep state, the computer's processor is not executing code and no work is being accomplished for the user. However, events in the system from both hardware devices and the real-time clock can be enabled to cause the system to exit the sleep state that is, "wake up" and quickly return to the working state.
When the computer is in the sleep state, the computer hardware, the system, and applications running on the computer must be capable of responding immediately to the power switch, communications events, and other actions.
If all applications handle power state transitions gracefully, the user will perceive a more elegant and integrated system. Applications that do not handle these transitions can fail when the power is turned off and then on, because of data loss or a dependency on a device that may have been removed.

Contents Exit focus mode. The following are benefits of Windows power management: Eliminates startup and shutdown delays. The computer need not perform a full system boot when exiting the sleep state or a full system shutdown when the user initiates the sleep state. The PMS can also carry out load sharing, for example in order to distribute the load between several gensets or photovoltaic panels.
If power demand is approaching the maximum power generation capability of your installation, and it is not possible to activate extra power sources, for example on a ship at sea, the PMS may also be able to carry out load shedding, cutting out non-critical loads in order to lower power demand.
PMS solutions are available for all types of power source, for example grid power, gensets, batteries, and renewables such as wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. You can combine one or more of these power sources in a solution that balances the need for consistently reliable and sufficient power with the important objective of using more sustainable and renewable power sources.
With a PMS, you can contribute to a better climate while still getting optimal power management. In a PMS, the individual controllers controlling the power sources grid connection, gensets, batteries, and so on and breakers are all interconnected in a communication network.
The controllers constantly communicate over this network, exchanging information about the current load, their own power production capabilities, and the size of the current load on the power source they are controlling. Based on this information, the PMS calculates which power sources to use and how many power sources need to be active, and sends out commands as needed, for example to open and close breakers, crank gensets, and so on.
Using information from the controllers, the PMS can also detect if one or more power sources are becoming unstable or unavailable, taking action to prevent a blackout as described above. When running on gensets, a PMS will ensure that you only run the precise amount of gensets needed. If three gensets are enough to cover power demand, for example, there is no reason for keeping four gensets running in order to provide excess power that will only rarely be needed.
This reduces the fuel cost associated with running your gensets while also reducing wear and tear on the genset units. Modern PMSes with advanced technology often provide even more options that help you achieve efficient and economical operation. Here are a couple of examples:. In short, power management is the discipline of matching supply and demand, and power management systems PMSes can help you achieve this balance — automatically, economically and reliably.
