About These Units
Megawatt (MW)
A megawatt (MW) equals 1,000 kilowatts or 1 million watts. Megawatts measure power plant capacity (nuclear: 1,000 MW, wind turbine: 2-5 MW), large industrial facilities, and electricity grid capacity. One MW can power about 750-1,000 homes.
Kilocalorie per Hour (kcal/h)
Kilocalories per hour (kcal/h) measures metabolic rate and heat production, equal to 1.163 watts. Basal metabolic rate is about 60-80 kcal/h. Exercise increases metabolic rate to 300-900 kcal/h depending on intensity. Also called "large calories per hour."
