Mains frequency

  • AJJewsbury:




    (MWh and MW/h both being identical.)



    Oh dear, I can feel the ghost of my old physics teacher threatening to clip me about the ear for even thinking of uttering such a thing. The words something like  'dimensional homogeneity' drift across the mists of the years (possibly inappropriately). MWh are Mega Watt Hours - the product of power & time -  MW/h would be Mega Watts per Hour -  a rate of power - completely different units (by a factor of 1/hours²).

    Well, I can appreciate a grid control engineer could be interested in the concept of rate of change of power, if not a county planning committee. I would have thought Megawatts per minute would be more practical.
  • Hi I have been assured by the doctors and nurses that I will be sedated when I have my scans they said that due to my high anxiety level it would be best I'm inclined to agree with them the less I'm aware of what's going on the better. Thankyou to all of you for your reassuring words it has helped I don't feel as anxious now  which is good
  • You will be fine Kelly, no worries.


    Don't forget that with sedation you will not be able to drive home afterwards. When I had some eye surgery the other year, I did not fancy it just with a local anesthetic and I was offered sedation. The surgeon and anesthetist described it as like a Gin & Tonic.  It was good and had the same a week later!


    Cheers!

  • I wonder if they will let me drink half a bottle of gin instead Lol. I'm lucky that either my cousin or my girlfriend will take me there and back  so no worries on that score
