Details In the field of energy, a petawatt hour (PW h) is a unit of energy used to express large quantities of energy, particularly in the context of power generation, energy consumption, and resource availability. It is a composite unit, consisting of the power unit petawatt (PW) and the time unit hour (h).

A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power, equal to 10^15 watts (1,000,000,000,000,000 watts), where a watt is the SI unit of power equal to one joule per second. An hour is a unit of time, equal to 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds.

When you multiply petawatt (power) by hour (time), petawatt-hour (PW h) becomes a unit of energy. One petawatt-hour is therefore equal to the amount of energy produced, consumed, or stored when a constant power of one petawatt is sustained for a period of one hour.

Specifically,

1 PW h = 10^15 watts × 3,600 seconds = 3.6 × 10^18 joules.

The petawatt-hour is a significant unit because it allows expressing vast quantities of energy, such as the energy generated by large power plants, consumed by nations, or the total energy from natural resources like fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables.
