Gigawatt-hour

The gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure large-scale electricity consumption. It is equal to the energy consumed by a device with a power rating of one gigawatt operating for one hour. One gigawatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 trillion joules.

Origin:

The gigawatt-hour is derived from the watt-hour, which is a unit of energy named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer and inventor. The prefix 'giga-' signifies a factor of one billion, making the gigawatt-hour equal to one billion watt-hours.

Therm

The therm is a unit of energy used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. It is defined as one hundred thousand British Thermal Units (BTU).

Origin:

The therm is derived from the British Thermal Unit (BTU), which is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. The therm measures large amounts of energy used in heating and cooling systems.
