Convert megawatt-hour to microjoule
Please provide values below to convert megawatt-hour [MW*h] to microjoule [µJ], or Convert microjoule to megawatt-hour.
How to Convert Megawatt-Hour to Microjoule
1 MW*h = 3.6e+15 µJ
Example: convert 15 MW*h to µJ:
15 MW*h = 15 × 3.6e+15 µJ = 5.4e+16 µJ

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.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
