Power Management is not very efficient in Ubuntu by default. To get maximum performance, it is recommended to use third-party softwares. One of the best and highly configurable available software amongst them is TLP.

To install TLP, type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tlp

For more info visit the TLP website.
