Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
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).
