2. Techniques used to reduce consumption
The notion of power can of course be calculated using the classic equation
where the quantities V(t) and I(t) represent the voltage and current flowing in an electrical circuit. In most cases, this voltage is more or less constant, and the calculation of power is simply a matter of calculating the current consumed. Energy, on the other hand, is calculated as the integral over time of instantaneous power:
