Understanding MW and MWh in Battery Energy Storage

1. MW (Megawatts): This is a unit of power, which essentially measures the rate at which energy is used or produced. In a BESS, the MW rating typically refers to the maximum amount of power that the system can deliver at any given moment. For instance, a BESS rated at 5 MW can deliver up to 5 megawatts of power instantaneously.
