Key Terminology

Kilovolt ampere (kV*A): A unit of apparent power in AC electrical systems equal to 1,000 volt-amperes, reflecting the product of RMS voltage and current without phase angle consideration.
Exawatt (EW): An SI unit of power equal to 10^18 watts, used for very large power levels such as planetary-scale energy transfers and astrophysical phenomena.
Apparent Power: Power calculated as the product of RMS voltage and current in an AC system, not factoring in the phase angle between them.
