Megajoule
A megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy equal to one million joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule was introduced as part of the metric system to measure large amounts of energy, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, aligning with the SI units established in the 20th century.
Current Use
The megajoule is used in fields such as physics, engineering, and energy industries to quantify large energy quantities, including in energy production, consumption, and scientific research.
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.
