It is quite likely that the unit has an internal surge supressor/fuse that blew when the power went out. Tou will need to open the housing to the fan motor and inspect the fuse. Once you get the fan working, the remote will work just fine.
If the problem is the remote itself, then it is possible, though highly unlikely that the remote code has been wiped out that connects the remote with the receiver on the main unit. If so, hopefully there are reset/reprogramming instructions in the manual.
