Megawatt-Hour (MWh) to Megawatt (MW) Conversion
To convert Megawatt-Hours (MWh) to Megawatts (MW), you need to consider the time duration (hours) over which the energy is used.
Conversion Formula
MW = MWh / hWhere:
- MW = Megawatts
- MWh = Megawatt-hours
- h = Time in hours
Example
If you have an energy consumption of 10 MWh over 2 hours, the calculation would be:
MW = 10 MWh / 2 h = 5 MWWhat is a Megawatt-hour (MWh)?
A megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) of power used for one hour. It is commonly used to measure large amounts of energy, such as in power plants.
What is a Megawatt (MW)?
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts. It is commonly used to measure the output of power plants and the power consumption of large electrical loads, as detailed in this NRC document.
Megawatt-hours (MWh) to Megawatts (MW) Conversion Table
Formula: MW = MWh / Time (h)
Example Values
| Megawatt-hours [MWh] | Time [h] | Power [MW] |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MWh | 1 h | 1.00 MW |
| 2 MWh | 1 h | 2.00 MW |
| 5 MWh | 1 h | 5.00 MW |
| 10 MWh | 1 h | 10.00 MW |
| 20 MWh | 1 h | 20.00 MW |
| 50 MWh | 1 h | 50.00 MW |
| 100 MWh | 1 h | 100.00 MW |
