Reports global as well as specific instance power, clock network power, clock domain power,
and net switching power. It also reports the power for power domains and specific power nets.
Units are reported in milliwatts...u can use certain commands regarding this along with
report_power..

(EX) report_power -cell buf*6 -outfile cell.rep

It will report the Total Internal Power,
Total Switching Power,
Total Leakage Power for buffer in the file named cell.rep
