Differences between "report power" and "report scan_power"

Hello,
I make a rtl synthesize in genus. I use both "report power"  and "report scan_power" commands like below.

report power -hier > power.rep
report scan_power -clock 100 > scan_power.rep

Also, I set my clock in an additional .sdc file  like below

current_design RisingEdge_DFlipFlop
create_clock [get_ports {clk}]  -name clk -period 10 -waveform {0 5}

So my clk and "scan_power" command has a 100MHz frequency. But in reports, their results are totally different.

report power -> Total Power: 2221.490 nW

report scan_power -> Total Power: 65.300 nW

In case I am doing right, what are the differences between "report power" and "report scan_power"?
