MW to MWh Year Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the megawatt hours per year is:

\[ \text{MWh} = \text{MW} \times \text{h} \times \text{d} \]

Where:

\(\text{MWh}\) is the megawatt hours per year
\(\text{MW}\) is the megawatts
\(\text{h}\) is the hours per day
\(\text{d}\) is the days per year

What is MW to MWh Year?

MW to MWh Year is a calculation used to determine the total energy output in megawatt hours over the course of a year. This is useful for understanding the total energy production or consumption of a power plant, industrial facility, or any other entity that uses or generates electricity. By knowing the number of megawatts, the hours of operation per day, and the number of operational days per year, one can easily calculate the total energy output in megawatt hours per year.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Megawatts = 50 MW
Hours Per Day = 24
Days Per Year = 365

Using the formula:

\[ \text{MWh} = 50 \times 24 \times 365 = 438,000 \, \text{MWh} \]

The megawatt hours per year is 438,000 MWh.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Megawatts = 100 MW
Hours Per Day = 12
Days Per Year = 300

Using the formula:

\[ \text{MWh} = 100 \times 12 \times 300 = 360,000 \, \text{MWh} \]

The megawatt hours per year is 360,000 MWh.
