CherryB said:Would that work for generation as well? If a generator puts out 1MegaWatt then it would follow that
1MW x 24 hours/day x 365 days/year=8,760 MWh or 8,760,000 kWH? Thank you
Is this a question for schoolwork?CherryB said:Thank you for helping me through this. I get 3,066,000 miles per year.

Thread locked for now. You did not answer my question. If you want your thread re-opened, send me a message (click my username and "Start a conversation"). We do not allow schoolwork questions in the technical forums (for obvious reasons).berkeman said:Is this a question for schoolwork?
The energy output of a generator is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is the amount of energy produced by the generator in one hour at a constant rate of one kilowatt (kW).
The formula for calculating kWh is kWh = kW x hours. This means that the energy output of a generator can be determined by multiplying its power output (in kW) by the number of hours it runs.
To calculate the kWh produced by a 23MW generator in 1 year, we first need to convert MW to kW. 23MW is equivalent to 23,000 kW. Assuming the generator runs for 8760 hours in a year (365 days x 24 hours), the calculation would be: 23,000 kW x 8760 hours = 201,480,000 kWh.
The energy output of a generator can be affected by various factors such as the type and quality of fuel used, the efficiency of the generator, environmental conditions, and maintenance of the generator.
Yes, the energy output of a generator can be increased by improving its efficiency, using higher quality fuel, and optimizing its operating conditions. Regular maintenance and upgrades can also help to increase the energy output of a generator.
