How to programmatically monitor power consumption on Windows?
I'm developing an app to monitor energy consumption of users' computer (for example how much energy it consumes on normal mode and energy save mode, battery status, etc) and I was wondering if there is any built in functionalities in Windows? some tool which can run through commmand line can also help, thanks

You cannot measure power consumption from Windows.
You can only make a very rough estimate obtain calculations that consider things as load level for CPU/GPU, estimates for consumption of other components.
The only way you can actually measure the consumption is to use an external power meter.
For the estimates, you can use things like Joulemeter.

If you're on a laptop, there is a set of performance counters for battery charge, battery drain, and remaining energy.
