You probably either did your arithmetic incorrectly or used the wrong equation. (After all, 10^46 W is greater than the power output of a supernova.) Regardless, you'll be happy to learn that your simulation gave the correct result to within 1%. Among others, you could take a look at page 16, equation 1-74, in Antenna Theory and Design by W.L. Stutzman and G.A. Thiele, published by John Wiley & Sons, 1981. The equation there will yield P = 10^15 W if using your numbers.
p.s. A static electric dipole moment, p, has units of charge x distance. The dipole moment that you refer to is in terms of current x distance. This is not the same thing, of course. Confusing the two leads to the error you reported.
