What are kiloliter and Megawatt-hour

Definition of kiloliter

A kiloliter (kl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equivalent to 1,000 liters. It is commonly used to measure large quantities of liquids, particularly in industry and commerce. One kiloliter is equal to one cubic meter (m³), which is the volume occupied by a cube with edges one meter in length. This unit is especially relevant in contexts involving water, fuel, and other liquid commodities, where precise volume measurements are vital.

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equal to one million watts of power expended for one hour. It represents a substantial amount of energy, often used to quantify large-scale electricity production and consumption. For instance, power plants may measure their output in MWh, as might utilities when billing large industrial customers. This unit provides a standardized measure that helps in understanding and comparing different forms of energy production and usage across various scales.
