Megawatts
A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
Decibel-watts
A decibel watt (dBW) is a unit of power level relative to one watt, expressed in decibels. It is commonly used in telecommunications and audio engineering to describe power levels in a logarithmic scale.
