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 $\text{GW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \frac{160.0}{{10}^{3}}$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.16$$

$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{MW} = 0.16 \ \text{GW}$$
