Horsepower Hour
A horsepower hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of energy equivalent to one horsepower of power sustained over one hour of time.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour originated from the traditional unit of horsepower used to quantify engine power, combined with the hour to measure energy consumption or production over time. It has been used primarily in engineering and energy industries to express energy usage or capacity.
Current Use
Today, the horsepower hour is rarely used in practical applications, having been largely replaced by the joule and other SI units. However, it may still be referenced in historical data, legacy systems, or specific industries dealing with older measurement standards within the energy and mechanical sectors.
Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
