Win32_PowerPlan class

Represents a power plan on a system. A power plan or scheme consists of a group of power settings and preference information. Each power plan is identified through a unique GUID as well as by a friendly name. Windows power plans also have a personality attribute that indicates the overall power savings behavior of the plan. Multiple power plans can exist; however, each computer can have only a single active power plan in effect at any given time.

A WMI consumer can enumerate all instances of Win32_PowerPlan to get all the power schemes that currently exist on the system. The active Win32_PowerPlan can be obtained by examining the IsActive property on the instance. The Activate method will make the power plan the active plan on the system.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties.

Syntax

[Provider("PowerWmiProvider"), Dynamic]
class Win32_PowerPlan : CIM_SettingData
{
  string  InstanceID;
  string  ElementName;
  string  Description;
  boolean IsActive;
};
