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.


Foot-Pound

A foot-pound is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one pound-force is exerted over a distance of one foot.

History/Origin

The foot-pound has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom as a customary unit of energy, originating from imperial and US customary measurement systems, before the widespread adoption of the SI system.

Current Use

Today, the foot-pound is still used in certain fields such as engineering, automotive, and aerospace industries in the US for expressing torque and energy, although the SI unit joule is more common internationally.
