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).

MBH

MBH stands for Thousand BTUs per Hour (where “M” is the Roman numeral for 1,000, and “BH” stands for British thermal units per hour). It is a unit commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry to measure the rate of heat transfer or heating capacity.

  1 MBH = 1,000 Btu/hour

  
  

In watts, this equals approximately:

MBH is used to express heating output or cooling capacity of equipment like furnaces, boilers, and air conditioners, providing a convenient way to specify large heat loads.
