Modelling and cosimulation of an automotive power management system. for hybrid-electric power train vehicles

For many years, power-management interfaces have been proprietary and required custom software supplied by the hardware vendor in order to function well (even when they purportedly adhered to industry standards). The situation is slowly improving, and Fedora contains good tools for power management on well-behaved systems. 3.1.1. How Do I Do That? Fedora uses the Advanced Configuation and Power Interface (ACPI) specification to monitor and manage the current power configuration. This approach requires support from the motherboard and CPU as well as the operating system; fortunately, most systems built in the last decade have some level of ACPI support, though many BIOS implementations are nonstandard. 3.1.1.1. Using gnome-power-manager to conserve power Fedora's main power-management tool is gnome-power-manager. You can access the gnome-power-manager configuration window using the menu option Systemв†’Preferencesв†’More Preferencesв†’Power Management.В  Fedora Core does not include the KDE ACPI modules. However, you can use gnome-power-manager in KDE by starting it manually: press Alt-F2 or open a terminal, and type: $ gnome-power-manager A second power-management icon will appear in the KDE panel ...»
