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.
About Foot-Pound-Force
A foot-pound-force (ft·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one foot - exactly 1.3558179483314004 J. It is the standard torque and energy unit in US engineering. Automotive engine torque: Honda Civic ~125 lb-ft; Ford F-150 EcoBoost ~500 lb-ft. Muzzle energies: .22 LR ~140 ft·lbf; .308 Winchester ~2,600 ft·lbf; .50 BMG ~14,000 ft·lbf. Diesel pile hammers deliver 15,000-600,000 ft·lbf/blow. SAE Grade 8 bolts are specified at 7-950 ft·lbf. 1 ft·lbf = 12 in·lbf = 1.35582 J = 0.32405 cal.
