What does 1 megawatt represent?

One megawatt equals one million watts, measuring the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert megawatt to Btu (th)/hour?

Because Btu (th)/hour is used widely in heating and cooling applications, converting helps relate electrical power to thermal energy rates.

Is this conversion valid for fluctuating power levels?

The conversion assumes steady power levels, so transient or varying power may require further analysis.
