What are Terawatt and Kilovolt Ampere

A Terawatt is a unit of power measurement equivalent to one trillion watts (10^12 watts). It is a large unit typically used to express the total power consumption or generation capacity at a national or global scale. The term 'terawatt' combines 'tera,' a metric prefix meaning trillion, and 'watt,' a unit of power named after Scottish inventor James Watt. As energy demands continue to grow, understanding and utilizing terawatts becomes increasingly important for planning and managing large-scale energy systems.

Kilovolt Ampere (kVA) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical system, combining kilovolts and amperes. It represents the total power used by an electrical system, including both active and reactive power components. Unlike watts, which measure actual power, kVA accounts for the power that performs work and the power stored in the system. It is essential in designing and analyzing electrical installations, particularly in systems with inductive loads where power factor plays a critical role.
