Power Budget

A power budget, or a system energy budget, is the collection and compiled list of each part and their respective power usage within the system. Values such as the parts voltage, current, and efficiency are needed when recording these numbers in order to calculate each individual part's power consumption. One of the most important features of a system's power budget is the calculated run-time which will tell the user the length of how long the system will remain operating when given a certain amount of power.
