How many MWh should be shown in the MWh field of a 60 MW energy profile starting at 0800 and stopping at 1800?

To determine how many megawatt-hours (MWh) should be recorded for a 60 MW energy profile over a defined period from 0800 to 1800, we first need to calculate the total duration of that period.

The time span from 0800 to 1800 is 10 hours. If the energy profile operates at a constant output of 60 MW, the total energy generated during this time can be calculated using the formula:

Energy (MWh) = Power (MW) × Time (hours)

Substituting the known values into the formula:

Energy (MWh) = 60 MW × 10 hours = 600 MWh

This calculation shows that throughout the 10-hour operation period, a total of 600 MWh of energy would be generated, which aligns perfectly with the energy profile's designated capacity and operating time. Therefore, the correct amount to be shown in the MWh field is indeed 600 MWh.
