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.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
