Conversion Formula
MWh = fJ × 2.777777778e-25
About Femtojoules
A femtojoule (fJ) is 10⁻¹⁵ J - the scale of gamma-ray photons, molecular motor work, and state-of-the-art digital logic. The electron rest-mass energy is 81.87 fJ; a 100 keV X-ray photon carries 16.02 fJ. A single myosin II motor protein power stroke dissipates ~5-40 fJ. ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions yields ~80-100 fJ of free energy. Advanced 3 nm CMOS gates switch at ~0.1-1 fJ per operation. Ultrafast fiber laser oscillators produce pulses of 0.1-10 fJ before amplification. 1 fJ = 10⁻¹⁵ J = 6.242 keV.
About Megawatt-Hours
A megawatt-hour (MWh) is the energy from 1 MW for one hour - exactly 3.6 GJ. It is the standard unit for wholesale electricity trading. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) specify capacity and price in $/MWh or €/MWh. A 5 MW wind turbine at full capacity generates 5 MWh/h. Primary aluminium smelting consumes 13-15 MWh per tonne. The Moss Landing battery (California) stores 3,287 MWh. The daily output of a 1 GW nuclear plant at 90% capacity factor is ~21,600 MWh. 1 MWh = 3.6 GJ = 3,412,141 BTU = 1,000 kWh.
