Best Answer

All three refer to a form of power. Active power units use watts, apparent power uses voltamps, and reactive power uses voltampreactives. So, they are Wh, VAh, and VARh. The M is the prefix for Mega, meaning 10^6.

What is the abbreviation for Megawatt hour?

MWh


What is the closest nuclear power plant to Asheville NC?

The mini reactor that is a part of the UW Madison Engineering School is inside of the Madison city area. In terms of large scale production reactors we have Point Beach and the Kewaunee reactor sites. Point Beach delivers 4,990 (thousand mwh) with a single unit. Kewaunee has two reactors and provides 8,291 (thousand mwh). They are both located in the Two Rivers area.


How much energy does a nuclear reactor produce in one day?

Depends on the output of the reactor, but new PWR's are rated at about 1500 MW (megawatts), so in one day would produce 1500 x 24 Megawatthours = 36,000 MWh


What is the symbol for potential energy?

Electrical power is measured in Watts, or multiples of Watts, like kilowatts or megawatts. Electrical energy is power x time, usually kilowatthours or megawatthours.(kWh or MWh)


How efficient are conventional power plants?

Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.

What is the difference between Mw and mwh?

A megawatt ('MW', not 'Mw') is used to measure power, which is the rate at which you use energy.A megawatt hour ('MW.h', not 'mwh') is used to measure energy, and is defined as 'the amount of energy consumed, per hour, at a rate of one megawatt'.


Why DAM capacity in MW and generator in MVA?

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.

How many hours in a mwh?

You can't directly convert between a measure of time and a measure of energy. MWh is not a "special type of hour", it is the product of megawatts and hours. The general relationship is: energy = power x time.


Convert dollars mwh to cents kwh?

If you mean dollars PER mwh and cents PER kwh, divide by 10.


How do you convert MWh to MW?

MWh is a unit of energy whereas, MW is a unit of power. Energy and power are two words often confusingly interchanged. Energy is the amount of work done, whereas power is the rate of doing work. One MWh (Mega Watt Hour) is a million watts of power applied over the period of an hour. One MW (Mega Watt) is a million watts. 1 Watt is 1 Joule per second. To convert MWh to MW, you should divide MWh by the time applied in hours. MWh = MW * Hours, and respectively MW = MWh / Hours E.g. Some electrical equipment used 84 MWh is the total energy measured by a electricity meter over 12 hours operation. What is the power rating of the equipment in MW? 84 MWh / 12 hours = 7 MW
