How to Convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive HourGigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour
1 VARh = 1e-9 GVARh
1 GVARh = 1000000000 VARh
Example: convert 19 VARh to GVARh:
19 VARh = 19 x 1e-9 = 1.9e-8 GVARh
Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour
Definition: A volt-ampere reactive hour (VARh) is a unit of reactive energy. It represents the reactive power of one volt-ampere reactive (VAR) sustained for one hour.
History/origin: The VARh unit arose from the need to quantify reactive power in AC electrical systems. Reactive power is a component of apparent power that does not perform useful work but is necessary for the operation of inductive and capacitive loads.
Current use: VARh is used by utilities to measure and bill customers for reactive power consumption. It's also used to monitor and manage the stability of electrical grids.
Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour
Definition: The gigavolt-ampere reactive hour (GVARh) is a unit of measurement for reactive energy in electrical systems. It represents the amount of reactive power (in gigavolt-amperes reactive, GVAR) consumed or supplied over a period of one hour. One GVARh is equal to 1000 MVARh.
History/origin: Similar to MVARh, GVARh emerged as a scaling of VARh to represent larger quantities of reactive energy. The 'giga' prefix signifies a billion VARh. It's a part of the evolution of electrical power measurement units to accommodate increasing power demands.
Current use: GVARh is typically used for very large-scale reactive power measurement and billing, often associated with major industrial facilities or transmission networks where reactive power flows are significant.
