Unit Description
Kilojoule per Hour (kJ/h)
Definition
Kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one kilojoule per hour. It provides a convenient scale for moderate power measurements in energy system analysis and thermal applications.
History
Kilojoule per hour developed as a practical unit for energy system analysis and thermal calculations. It provided an appropriate scale for describing power in terms of energy per time, particularly useful in heating and cooling system analysis.
Current Use
Kilojoule per hour is used in energy system analysis, thermal calculations, and heating/cooling applications. It's found in energy efficiency calculations, thermal system design, and applications where energy rates are more intuitive than electrical power units.
Megawatt (MW)
Definition
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts (10⁶ W). It represents large amounts of power commonly used to describe the output of power plants, large motors, and significant electrical installations.
History
The megawatt became standard with the growth of electrical power systems in the early 20th century. It provided an appropriate scale for describing power plant capacities, large industrial equipment, and electrical grid components as electricity became widespread.
Current Use
Megawatts are extensively used in the power industry for plant capacity ratings, large motor specifications, wind turbine output, and electrical grid planning. They're standard for power plant ratings, large industrial equipment, and renewable energy project specifications.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Kilojoule per Hour to Megawatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kJ/h = 2.77778e-7 MW
- Conversion Formula: MW = kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6
- Calculation: 1 kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6 = 2.77778e-7 MW
Convert 10 Kilojoule per Hour to Megawatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kJ/h = 2.77778e-7 MW
- Conversion Formula: MW = kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6
- Calculation: 10 kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6 = 0.00000277778 MW
Convert 100 Kilojoule per Hour to Megawatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kJ/h = 2.77778e-7 MW
- Conversion Formula: MW = kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6
- Calculation: 100 kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6 = 0.0000277778 MW
Convert 1,000 Kilojoule per Hour to Megawatt
- Conversion Factor: 1 kJ/h = 2.77778e-7 MW
- Conversion Formula: MW = kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6
- Calculation: 1,000 kJ/h ÷ 3.6e+6 = 0.000277778 MW
