Gigajoules
A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000,000,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure very large quantities of energy, such as the energy consumption of cities, the energy production of power plants, and the energy content of large quantities of fuel. One gigajoule is the amount of energy required to apply a force of one newton over a distance of one billion meters, or the energy transferred when one gigawatt of power is applied for one second. Gigajoules are used in various fields, including energy production, industrial processes, and large-scale energy management, providing a standard measure for comparing substantial energy transfers and consumption.
Megawatt-hour
A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of electrical energy consumed or generated over time. One megawatt-hour is equivalent to one megawatt (1,000,000 watts) of power used or produced for one hour. This unit is commonly used to quantify large-scale energy usage, such as that of power plants, industrial facilities, or in the context of national and regional energy consumption. For example, if a power plant operates at 1 megawatt of output for one hour, it produces 1 MWh of energy. Megawatt-hours are crucial for understanding and managing large-scale energy production and consumption.
