[RE-wrenches] kW/MW v. kWh/MWh

[Marco Mangelsdorf]

I'm reading a piece on energy storage in the latest issue of Distributed
Energy mag.

 

The writer, Lyn Corum, repeatedly refers to the capacity of storage mediums
(thermal, compressed air, flywheel, battery) in kW and MW terms.

 

Heck, even my friends at Beacon Power refer to their flywheel systems in MW
terms.

 

Am I missing something here?  Shouldn't all references to energy storage be
in kWh and MWh terms?

 

Or am I experiencing a d'oh! moment?
