Pferdestärke (PS)


Pferdestärke, abbreviated as PS, is the German term for metric horsepower. It literally means "horse strength" and is commonly used in Germany and some other European countries to measure engine power.


The value of 1 PS is defined as:


1 PS=75 kgf\cdotpm/s≈735.5 watts1 \text{ PS} = 75 \text{ kgf·m/s} \approx 735.5 \text{ watts}

This is slightly less than the mechanical horsepower used in the U.S., which is about 745.7 watts.


PS is often used to rate the power of cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles in many European countries, serving the same purpose as horsepower but based on the metric system.


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).
