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.
Calorie (Th)
The calorie (th) is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie (th) was historically used in the context of thermochemistry and nutrition, originating from the calorie concept in the 19th century. It has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts but remains in common use in some regions and fields.
Current Use
Today, the calorie (th) is primarily used in nutrition labeling and food energy measurements, especially in regions where the thermochemical calorie is still recognized, although the joule is the SI standard.
