What is the abbreviation of 'megawatt'?

How many watts in a gigawatts?

1000. A megawatt-hour is the energy you'd get with a megawatt of power for 1 hour. Energy = power * time. It's important to note that it's 'megawatt hour' and not megawatt/hour (ie. it's not megawatt per hour).A gigawatt has 1000 times the power of a megawatt. Thus, since the time is the same (both 1 hour), a gigawatt-hour = 1000 megawatt hours.


Calculate what a megawatt hour is?

Mega means million and a watt is a unit of power. A megawatt hour is the amount of power used if 1,000,000 watts are used for 1 hour, or 1 watt is used for 1,000,000 hours. If 100 light bulbs each using 1,000 watts of power are turned on for 10 hours, they will use 100 x 1,000 x 10 watt hours = 1,000,000 watt hours = 1 megawatt hour. Most electric companies charge for the number of kilowatt hours used. A megawatt hour is 1,000 kilowatt hours.


What is the difference between Mw and mwh?

A megawatt ('MW', not 'Mw') is used to measure power, which is the rate at which you use energy.A megawatt hour ('MW.h', not 'mwh') is used to measure energy, and is defined as 'the amount of energy consumed, per hour, at a rate of one megawatt'.

How many units consumed per 24 hours of megawatt mot er?

Watt, kilowatt, or megawatt are units of power (energy/time). A watt is 1 joule/second. A kilowatt is a thousand joules per second. A kilowatt is also 1 kWh/hour (kilowatt-hour / hour). Since you would usually pay per kilowatt-hour, you might be more interested in the number of kilowatt-hours. A megawatt is a million joules per second - or a thousand kWh/hour.


How many megawatts do tidal turbines produce in day?

A typical nuclear power plant produces 500 to 5000 megawatts of power. If we take 2000 as average, an average plant produces 2000 megawatt hours in an hour, or 48,000 megawatt hours in a day. But please note: Technically, this does not answer the question asked, because the question asked for megawatts, not megawatt hours. The question as asked is like asking how many horsepower a car can produce in a day. The measure of electrical output over a period of time is a watt hour, or, in this case, the megawatt hour. So the question answered was, "How many megawatt hours does a nuclear power plant make in a day?"


How many btu to one mbtu?

None. They are used to measure two different quantities. The BTU is used to measure energy while the megawatt is used to measure power. Two different units for measuring two different quantities.A Megawatt-hour is a measure of energy that is equivalent to about 3.45 million BTUs. Or 1 Megawatt is equivalent to 3.45 million BTU per hour.
