Best Answer

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 do you convert MWh to MW?

MWh is a unit of energy whereas, MW is a unit of power. Energy and power are two words often confusingly interchanged. Energy is the amount of work done, whereas power is the rate of doing work. One MWh (Mega Watt Hour) is a million watts of power applied over the period of an hour. One MW (Mega Watt) is a million watts. 1 Watt is 1 Joule per second. To convert MWh to MW, you should divide MWh by the time applied in hours. MWh = MW * Hours, and respectively MW = MWh / Hours E.g. Some electrical equipment used 84 MWh is the total energy measured by a electricity meter over 12 hours operation. What is the power rating of the equipment in MW? 84 MWh / 12 hours = 7 MW

How many MWh in a month?

The number of MWh (megawatt-hours) in a month will depend on the average power consumption during that month. To calculate, multiply the average power (in MW) by the number of hours in the month. For example, if the average power consumption is 10 MW and the month has 720 hours, the total energy usage would be 10 MW x 720 hours = 7,200 MWh.


How many mWh does a solar plant produce?

Typically, Photovoltaic (solar panel) installations produce between 10% to 20% of their size (in MW) when converting to actual production (MWh). For example, the reported size of the Okhotnykovo PV site in the Ukraine is 80MW and the actual target production of power is 100 MWh annual production. This is about 14.25% of what you get by multiplying the 80MW times the 8766 hours in a year. Higher numbers require panels that track the sun.


How much coal for 1 MW?

1 MW of power running for 1 hour is 1 MWh of energy. One Megawatt-hour of electrical energy takes about half a ton of coal to produce. That would be 12 tons per day for a 1 MW generator, which could supply 300-500 houses (in the UK).


How many kwh is mwh?

1 mwh = 1000 kwh hence 4 mwh = 4000 kwh

How much is 0.1 euro cents kWh in euro MWh?

MWh=1000kWh so, should be 100 euro/MWh


Why DAM capacity in MW and generator in MVA?

Easy, you don't sell MVAh, you sell MWh. MVA is used in rating generators because it combines Watts and vars. MW is used to let you know what kind of money you can make, since you also are probably wanting to produce vars in order to support your grid.
