Megawatt-hours (MWh)

Definition

A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 kilowatt-hours or 3,600,000,000 joules. It is used for large-scale energy measurement.

History

The megawatt-hour became standard in the power industry as electricity grids scaled to serve millions of customers. It is the basis for wholesale electricity market trading.

Current use

Megawatt-hours are used in power generation, grid management, wholesale energy markets, and large industrial energy audits. Power plants, wind farms, and solar installations report output in MWh.

Foot-pounds (ft⋅lb)

Definition

A foot-pound (ft⋅lb) is an imperial unit of energy equal to the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot. It equals approximately 1.35582 joules.

History

The foot-pound has been used in English-speaking countries since the early days of mechanical engineering. It was the standard unit for torque and mechanical work before the joule gained prominence.

Current use

Foot-pounds are widely used in the US for measuring torque in automotive and mechanical applications, firearm muzzle energy, and mechanical work in engineering specifications.
