Boiler Horsepower (BHP)


Boiler horsepower (BHP) is a unit of power used to rate the capacity of boilers. It represents the ability of a boiler to produce steam.


One boiler horsepower is defined as the amount of energy required to produce 34.5 pounds (about 15.65 kg) of steam per hour at a pressure and temperature of 212°F (100°C) (the boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure).


In terms of power, this is approximately:


1 BHP=9,810 watts≈9.81 kW1 \text{ BHP} = 9,810 \text{ watts} \approx 9.81 \text{ kW}

Boiler horsepower measures the boiler’s steam-generating capacity rather than mechanical power output, and it’s commonly used in engineering to size and compare boilers.


Megawatt (MW)


The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10610^{6} watts:


1 MW=1,000,000 W1 \text{ MW} = 1,000,000 \text{ W}

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).
