What are Megawatt-hour and Hartree

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. It represents a substantial quantity of energy commonly used in electricity generation and consumption. Utility companies typically use MWh to bill large-scale energy consumers, and it serves as a standard measure within the electrical industry.

The Hartree, also known as Hartree energy (E_h), is the atomic unit of energy. It's named after the British physicist Douglas Hartree and is commonly used in quantum chemistry and atomic physics. One Hartree represents the potential energy of two electrons in a hydrogen atom occupying the same quantum state and is approximately equal to 4.359744650×10^-18 joules.

History of Megawatt-hour and Hartree

The concept of converting Megawatt-hours to Hartrees, though relatively niche, stems from the need to translate large-scale energy measurements into atomic-scale energy units for scientific purposes. This conversion is particularly useful in theoretical physics and chemistry where energy on an atomic scale is often calculated using Hartrees.
