Convert Megawatt to Gigawatt
Unit definitions
Megawatt
$10^{6}$ watts is a megawatt.
Gigawatt
$10^{9}$ watts is a gigawatt.
How to convert Megawatt to Gigawatt
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{\text{Power}_{\text{MW}}}{{10}^{3}}$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $40.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{40.0}{{10}^{3}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.04$$
$$\therefore \ 40.0\ \text{MW} = 0.04 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 2
Convert $90.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{90.0}{{10}^{3}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.09$$
$$\therefore \ 90.0\ \text{MW} = 0.09 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 3
Convert $110.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{110.0}{{10}^{3}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.11$$
$$\therefore \ 110.0\ \text{MW} = 0.11 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 4
Convert $130.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{130.0}{{10}^{3}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.13$$
$$\therefore \ 130.0\ \text{MW} = 0.13 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 5
Convert $160.0\ \text{MW}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{160.0}{{10}^{3}}$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.16$$
$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{MW} = 0.16 \ \text{GW}$$
