What does one metric horsepower hour represent?

It represents the energy delivered by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, equal to about 2,647,795.5 joules.

How is watt-second related to joule?

A watt-second is dimensionally identical to a joule; both measure energy and 1 W·s equals 1 joule.

Why convert horsepower hours to watt-seconds?

Converting to watt-seconds allows energy values to be expressed in a smaller, precise unit compatible with electrical and mechanical energy calculations.
