Gigawatt-Hour
A gigawatt-hour (GW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one billion watt-hours, representing the amount of energy produced or consumed over one hour at a power level of one gigawatt.
History/Origin
The gigawatt-hour emerged as a standard unit of energy measurement in the 20th century with the development of large-scale power generation and electrical engineering, facilitating the quantification of energy production and consumption in power plants and grids.
Current Use
Gigawatt-hours are used today to measure large-scale energy production, consumption, and capacity in power systems, renewable energy projects, and national energy statistics, aiding in energy management and planning.
Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
