Early Power Estimators (EPE) and Power Analyzer
Intel® power analysis features, including early power estimators and Quartus® Prime power analyzer, give you the ability to estimate power consumption from early design concept through design implementation, as shown in Figure 1. As you provide more details about your design characteristics, estimation accuracy is improved.
Table 1 lists Intel FPGA device families with links to respective early power estimator spreadsheets. If you already have design files or a project set up in the Quartus Prime software, you can have the software generate data to automatically populate the spreadsheets. During implementation, you can refine your power estimates using the Quartus Prime software's power analyzer tool.

Notes:
- The version of EPE spreadsheet that you use must correspond to the version of the Quartus Prime or Quartus II software. For example, if you use the Quartus II software v13.1 to generate the EPE file, you must use the EPE spreadsheet version 13.1.
