Some power management tools pm-utils are installed by default.
You can install laptop-mode-tools to use extended power management features by
sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools
This package will do most of power saving automatically, but you can tune it using config files.
For Ubuntu 16.04 pm-tools and laptop-mode-tools do not automatically detect events of switchng from battery to AC because of systemd limitations. This can be fixed in udev.
For the details see this answer for details.
In addition you can use powertop to check power settings.
