Convert deciwatt to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to deciwatt.
1 dW = 1e-07 MW. To convert deciwatt to megawatt, multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 10000000 dW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dW = 1e-07 MW
- 1 MW = 10000000 dW
- 10 dW = 1e-06 MW
- 100 dW = 1e-05 MW
How to Convert Deciwatt to Megawatt
1 dW = 1e-07 MW
Example: convert 15 dW to MW:
15 dW = 15 × 1e-07 MW = 1.5e-06 MW

Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 deciwatt in megawatt?
1 deciwatt (dW) = 1e-07 megawatt (MW).
How do you convert deciwatt to megawatt?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 1e-07. For example, 25 dW × 1e-07 = 2.5e-06 MW.
What is 10 deciwatt in megawatt?
10 dW = 1e-06 MW.
Which unit is larger, the deciwatt or the megawatt?
The megawatt is the larger unit: 1 dW equals only 1e-07 MW.
