Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
Mega Btu (It)
A mega Btu (MBtu) is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, used primarily in the energy industry to measure large quantities of heat energy.
History/Origin
The mega Btu originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy. It became standardized in the energy sector to quantify large-scale energy quantities, especially in the oil, gas, and power industries, to facilitate easier measurement and comparison.
Current Use
Today, the MBtu is used mainly in the energy sector for billing, reporting, and analyzing large energy consumption or production, particularly in contexts such as natural gas, heating, and power generation.
