Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
Gigawatt-Hour
A gigawatt-hour (GW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one billion watt-hours, representing the amount of energy produced or consumed over one hour at a power level of one gigawatt.
History/Origin
The gigawatt-hour emerged as a standard unit of energy measurement in the 20th century with the development of large-scale power generation and electrical engineering, facilitating the quantification of energy production and consumption in power plants and grids.
Current Use
Gigawatt-hours are used today to measure large-scale energy production, consumption, and capacity in power systems, renewable energy projects, and national energy statistics, aiding in energy management and planning.
