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).


Watt (W)


The watt (symbol: W) is the standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or used. One watt is defined as one joule of energy transferred per second:


1 W=1 J/s1 \text{ W} = 1 \text{ J/s}

Power is essentially how quickly work is done or energy is consumed. For example, a 60-watt light bulb uses energy at a rate of 60 joules every second.


The watt can also be expressed in terms of electrical units: one watt equals one volt multiplied by one ampere (1 W = 1 V × 1 A).


The watt is widely used to describe power in mechanical, electrical, and thermal systems. Larger units like kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW) are common in industry and power generation.
