What are Hartree and Gigawatt-hour

Definition of Hartree

The Hartree, symbolized as Eh, is a unit of energy particularly used in the field of atomic physics. It's named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree. The value of one Hartree is equivalent to the kinetic energy of an electron moving around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in the ground state, and it is equal to approximately 4.359744650×10^-18 joules or 27.211386245988 electronvolts (eV).

Definition of Gigawatt-hour

A Gigawatt-hour, abbreviated as GWh, is a unit of energy representing one billion (10^9) watt-hours. It's a large unit commonly used in the context of electricity generation and consumption by utilities. One GWh is equivalent to the amount of energy produced by a one gigawatt (GW) power plant running continuously for one hour. It's used to quantify large-scale energy production and usage, such as that of cities or even small countries.
