A watt is a unit of power, named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. One watt is defined as the amount of power needed to do one joule of work per second. In other words, it measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted from one form to another.
A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of energy used over a period of time. For example, if a 100-watt light bulb is turned on for 10 hours, it will consume 1,000 watt-hours (100 watts x 10 hours = 1,000 Wh) of energy.
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of electric power generators, as well as the power consumption of electric motors, heaters, and other devices.
Kilowatts are often used in conjunction with kilowatt-hours (kWh) to express the energy consumption or production of a device or system over a period of time.
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts or 1,000 kilowatts. It is commonly used to express the power output of large-scale power plants.
A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power equal to one billion watts or 1,000 megawatts. It is a very large unit of power, often used to measure the annual contribution by wind and solar, to a country’s total energy demand.
