Calorie (th)/second [cal (th)/s]

The calorie (th)/second is a unit of power measuring the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical calories per second.

• 
  

  Calorie (th) refers to the thermochemical calorie, defined slightly differently from the International Table calorie based on thermochemical standards.

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as cal (th)/second, it indicates how many thermochemical calories of heat energy are transferred or generated every second.

  
  

Conversion to watts:

This unit is used in precise scientific and engineering contexts to quantify heat transfer or energy flow at higher rates.

Megawatt (MW)

The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to $10^{6}$ watts:

Megawatts are commonly used to express the power output of medium to large-sized power plants, such as wind farms, solar plants, and small hydroelectric stations. For example, a typical wind turbine might produce around 2 to 3 MW of power.

In practical terms, 1 megawatt can supply electricity to roughly 1,000 average homes.

The megawatt is a convenient scale for measuring electrical generation and consumption on a regional or city level, bridging the gap between smaller household power use (kilowatts) and larger industrial or national-scale power (gigawatts).
