The energy plans of a laptop represent the hardware and software configurations that manage how the laptop uses energy to save it when it works on the battery and is not connected to an alternate current or to maximize the system performance. Windows operating systems offer three default energy plans, namely the plan Balanced (which balances the energy consumption and computer performance), the plan Power Saver (which reduces system performance to save energy) and plan High Performance (which prioritizes the performance of the system to the detriment of energy saving).
