    This document contains calculations to convert between various units of energy: British Thermal Units (BTUs), kilocalories (kcal), joules (J), megawatt hours (MWh), and quads. It shows that 15 x 1010 BTUs is equivalent to 3.78 x 1010 kcal. It also shows that 15 x 1010 BTUs is equivalent to 1.5825 x 1014 J, which equals 43.958 x 103 MWh or approximately 44 days worth of energy from a 5 megawatt power plant operating 24 hours a day. Additionally, it shows that 10 quadrillion BTUs would last 200 days based on a daily energy use of 1.3 x 1013 BTUs
