UNIT I ENERGY
• Intermediate energy
• It is obtain from primary energy sources one or more process ( Steam,
chemicals )
1 EJ = 1018 J.
Calorie
The approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of
one gram of water by one degree Celsius. This unit is used for measuring
heat energy.
One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules. It is often used instead of joules
when dealing with the energy released from food.
Kilowatt (kW)
• One thousand watts of electricity.
Megajoule (MJ)
• One million Joules.
Megawatt (MW)
• One Million Watts; a modern coal plant will have a capacity of about 1,000 MW.

Volt (V)
• The volt is the International System of Units (SI) measure of electric
potential or electromotive force. A potential of one volt appears across a
resistance of one ohm when a current of one ampere flows through that
resistance.
Watt (Electric)
• The electrical unit of power. The rate of energy transfer equivalent to 1
ampere of electric current flowing under a pressure of 1 volt at unity
power factor.
Watt (Thermal)
• A unit of power in the metric system, expressed in terms of energy per
second, equal to the work done at a rate of 1 joule per second.
Watthour (Wh)
• The electrical energy unit of measure equal to 1 watt of power supplied to,
or taken from, an electric circuit steadily for 1 hour.
