Watt-hours (Wh)

Definition

A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy equal to the work done by one watt of power sustained for one hour. It equals 3,600 joules.

History

The watt-hour emerged with the development of electrical power systems in the late 19th century. It provided a practical way to measure and bill for electrical energy consumption.

Current use

Watt-hours are used for small battery capacities (e.g., phone batteries, portable electronics) and as a base unit for kilowatt-hours used in household electricity metering.

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.
