Understanding Watt-Second to Megawatt-Hour Conversion
Conversion Formula
MWh = Ws ÷ 3,600,000,000
Example Calculation
To convert 5,000,000,000 watt-seconds to megawatt-hours:
5,000,000,000 Ws ÷ 3,600,000,000 = 1.389 MWh
Key Concepts
Watt-Second (Ws)
A watt-second is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt of power sustained for one second. It's equal to one joule and is commonly used in electrical and physics calculations.
Megawatt-Hour (MWh)
A megawatt-hour represents the energy equivalent to one megawatt (1,000,000 watts) sustained for one hour. It's commonly used by power companies to measure large-scale energy production and consumption.
