You typically use the interactive Excel-based Early Power Estimator before designing
the FPGA to get a magnitude estimate of the device power. The Quartus II PowerPlay
Power Analyzer provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design
after you complete place-and-route. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer can apply a
combination of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities that,
when combined with detailed circuit models, yields very accurate power estimates.

Estimator User Guide and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in the Quartus II
Handbook.
