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).


Electric Horsepower


Electric horsepower is a unit used to describe the power output of electric motors. It is closely related to the mechanical horsepower but defined slightly differently for electrical applications.


In general, 1 electric horsepower is defined as:


1 electric hp=746 watts1 \text{ electric hp} = 746 \text{ watts}

This value is rounded from the mechanical horsepower (745.7 W) for convenience in electrical engineering.


Electric horsepower is commonly used to rate the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical equipment. It helps standardize comparisons between mechanical and electrical power outputs.


While watts are the SI unit of power, horsepower remains popular in motor specifications and industrial applications.
