function Set-DbaPowerPlan {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Sets the SQL Server OS's Power Plan.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Sets the SQL Server OS's Power Plan. Defaults to High Performance which is best practice.
 
        If your organization uses a custom power plan that is considered best practice, specify -CustomPowerPlan.

    .PARAMETER ComputerName
        The server(s) to set the Power Plan on.
 
    .PARAMETER Credential
        Specifies a PSCredential object to use in authenticating to the server(s), instead of the current user account.
 
    .PARAMETER PowerPlan
        Specifies the Power Plan that you wish to use. Valid options for this match the Windows default Power Plans of "Power Saver", "Balanced", and "High Performance".
 
    .PARAMETER CustomPowerPlan
        Specifies the name of a custom Power Plan to use.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Enables piping from Get-DbaPowerPlan
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.

    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Set-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName sql2017
 
        Sets the Power Plan to High Performance. Skips it if its already set.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> 'Server1', 'Server2' | Set-DbaPowerPlan -PowerPlan Balanced
 
        Sets the Power Plan to Balanced for Server1 and Server2. Skips it if its already set.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $cred = Get-Credential 'Domain\User'
        PS C:\> Set-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName sql2017 -Credential $cred
 
        Connects using alternative Windows credential and sets the Power Plan to High Performance. Skips it if its already set.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Set-DbaPowerPlan -ComputerName sqlcluster -CustomPowerPlan 'Maximum Performance'
 
        Sets the Power Plan to the custom power plan called "Maximum Performance". Skips it if its already set.
