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).

Millijoule per Second [mJ/s]

Millijoule per second is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  Millijoule (mJ) equals $10^{-3}$ joules (0.001 joule).

  
  
• 
  

  When expressed as mJ/s, it measures the rate of energy transfer or work done at a scale of millijoules every second.

  
  
• 
  

  Since 1 joule per second = 1 watt, then:

  
  

This unit is used to quantify very small power levels, often in scientific research and electronics where precise measurements of low energy flow are required.
