Abstract

Before the introduction, it is necessary to differentiate power and energy first, especially for battery operated system. Power is the instantaneous power dissipation in the system, and energy is the integral of power over time. The power used by a given system varies over time depending on what it is doing, while it is energy that determines battery life.
