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.
Watt-Hour
A watt-hour (W·h) is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy transferred or used when one watt of power is sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The watt-hour was established as a practical unit of energy measurement with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI) and has been used in electrical and energy industries to quantify energy consumption and storage since the 20th century.
Current Use
Watt-hours are commonly used to measure electrical energy consumption in household appliances, batteries, and energy storage systems, providing a convenient unit for billing, capacity ratings, and energy management.
