System and method to manage power to a desired power profile

A system comprising:

• a power profile engine configured to receive a desired power profile associated with a device, wherein the power profile includes a first profile current average associated with a first time duration and a second profile current average associated with a second time duration;
• a power measurement engine configured to measure current being drawn by the device and further configured to generate a first running average for the measured currents for the first time duration and further configured to generate a second running average for the measured currents for the second time duration;
• and
• a power throttling signal generator configured to generate a first power throttling signal to throttle power consumption in the device in response to the first running average for the measured currents being greater than the first profile current average and further configured to generate a second power throttling signal to throttle power consumption in the device in response to the second running average for the measured currents being greater than the second profile current average.
