Horsepower (Metric)

The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.

History/Origin

The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.

Current Use

Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.

Gigawatt

A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power equal to one billion watts, used to measure large-scale electrical power generation or consumption.

History/Origin

The gigawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's adoption for expressing large power quantities, particularly in the context of electrical engineering and energy projects, becoming widely used in the 20th century with the growth of large power plants and national grids.

Current Use

Gigawatts are commonly used today to quantify the capacity of power plants, energy production, and national or regional power consumption levels, especially in the context of renewable energy projects and large-scale infrastructure.
