You would have to know the Power Factor, normally designated PF. MVA x PF = MW.
If the PF is unity then MVA = MW. A PF of UNITY suggest the load is purely resistive with neither capacitive nor inductive components in the load or source. Of course this can mean such components have been balanced artificially.
To convert megavolt-amperes (MVA) to megawatts (MW), you typically use the formula: MW = MVA × Power Factor. If the power factor is not specified, a common assumption is 1 (for purely resistive loads), which would mean 55 MVA equals 55 MW. However, if the power factor is less than 1, the MW value would be lower than 55.
MVA is the apparent power. MVA=( MW+ MVAr)1/2
By definition, MVA is equivalent to the vector sum of MW and MVAR: MVA^2 = MW^2 + MVAR^2 = 2500 MVA = 50
To convert 33 MVA (megavolt-amperes) to MWh (megawatt-hours), you first need to know the power factor of the system, as MVA measures apparent power while MWh measures real energy consumed over time. If you assume a power factor of 1 (which is ideal), 33 MVA is equivalent to 33 MW. To convert to MWh, multiply the power in MW by the number of hours of operation. For example, if the system runs for 1 hour, it would consume 33 MWh.

MVA= square root of (MW2 + MVAR2 )
There are two concerns here regarding loading on transformers of this size. First is the difference between MVA and MW. MW is just real power -- watts. MVA is total power which includes real power (MW) and reactive power (MVAR).--- http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electric-Power-Utilities-2405/operation-limit-oof-power.htm
Large transformers are filled with oil which circulates to a radiator to get rid of excess heat. A 100 MVA transformer should waste about 1 MW of power on full load, 0.5 MW on no load.
mw/mva=power factor reactive power(Q)=I2XL or E2/XL where XL= REACTANCE apparent power = square root of (MW2 + MVAR2 )
100 mW to W
In a 1 megawatt (MW) generator, the unit of power is given in terms of megawatts, which represents one million watts. A megavolt-ampere (MVA) is a unit of apparent power equal to one million volt-amperes. Therefore, in a 1 MW generator, the apparent power rating would also be 1 MVA, as the apparent power rating is typically equal to the real power rating in a generator with a power factor of 1.
Easy, you don't sell MVAh, you sell MWh. MVA is used in rating generators because it combines Watts and vars. MW is used to let you know what kind of money you can make, since you also are probably wanting to produce vars in order to support your grid.
