Hi,

If I remember well, tdepowersave is to be started the same way as kmix, which means that it has to be started once, and it starts automatically with TDE on the following boots.
If the packages has been installed correctly, you should see it in the K menu.

Once started, look at the different options, as I think that your CPU is set to run full speed all the time. This is probably why you have much lower battery life than on Windows. But always remember that hardware drivers on Linux are not always as much energy-saving and optimized than on Windows. Click one time on the tdepowersave icon on the notification area (near the clock) and you will see a pop-up with the state of tdepowersave and the CPU cores speed.

Hope it helps!
