Megawatt (MW)
The megawatt (symbol: MW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 106 watts:
1 MW=1,000,000 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).
Btu (th)/hour [Btu (th)/h]
The Btu (th)/hour stands for British thermal unit (thermochemical) per hour and is a unit of power measuring the rate of heat transfer.
Btu (th) or thermochemical Btu is a slightly different standardized value of the British thermal unit, based on thermochemical measurements. It is defined as approximately 1,055.87 joules, slightly less than the International Table (IT) Btu.
When expressed as Btu (th)/hour, it measures how many thermochemical Btus of heat energy are transferred or generated in one hour.
Conversion to watts:
1 Btu (th)/h≈0.293071 watts
This unit is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts where precise heat transfer rates are required, such as in thermodynamics and chemical processes.
