  • Systems and methods for system power estimation
    Patent number: 9152168
    Abstract: Methods and systems for system power estimation are provided. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure includes separating products into different segments. The method also includes calculating a power estimation for each segment based on operating conditions of each respective segment. The method further includes calculating an average system power estimation. At least one of the separating, calculating the power estimation, and calculating the average system power estimation is performed using a processor.
