Convert megawatt-hour to nanojoule
Please provide values below to convert megawatt-hour [MW*h] to nanojoule [nJ], or Convert nanojoule to megawatt-hour.
How to Convert Megawatt-Hour to Nanojoule
1 MW*h = 3.6e+18 nJ
Example: convert 15 MW*h to nJ:
15 MW*h = 15 × 3.6e+18 nJ = 5.4e+19 nJ

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.
Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
