Convert megawatt to watts
Megawatt
The megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts (106 W) in the SI system. It is commonly used to express the capacity of power plants, wind turbines, and large industrial machinery. A single modern wind turbine typically generates between two and five megawatts at rated capacity, and medium-sized power stations are commonly rated in hundreds of megawatts.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
