Can't you just measure the supply current in standby and multiply by the supply voltage?

Thank you for your guidelines.

I am using cadence virtuoso tool for our SRAM project. Could you tell the what exact method we have to follow for static power and total average power measurement. Either we have to use calculator or result-browser in cadence tool for these power measurements?

Please suggest regarding this with need full.

I've never measured SRAM power.  Generally, in this forum, you post what you've tried, and we help you find what you did wrong; we don't give you a step-by-step solution to do all the work for you.
