Well, Power is a more or less specific play featuring man blocking, a play-side double team on the tackle, a pulling guard, and a FB kick-out block run off tackle.
Here is one that worked pretty well - in the heavy set:

A little more generally, power-run games are typically based upon man blocking schemes.
The classic alternative to that is a zone-blocking based run game. That roughly fits Oregon - though zone blocking doesn't necessarily mean shot-gun or option.
I think that most people on this board tend to use the term as winflop suggests, referring to runs to the middle of the field - between the tackles or off-tackle.
