Here, PD can be found from
High source impedances are sometimes unavoidable, but
they increase noise from the source impedance and also
PD = PQuiescent + PDynamic - PLoad
make the circuit more sensitive to the op amp current
noise. Analyze all noise sources in the circuit, not just the
op amp itself, to achieve low noise in your application.
Quiescent power can be derived from the specified IS
values along with known supply voltage, VSupply. Load

In order to determine PD, the power dissipated in the load
needs to be subtracted from the total power delivered by
the supplies.
