Brake horsepower (bhp) is the power measured using a brake type (load) dynamometer at a specified location, such as the crankshaft, output shaft of the transmission, rear axle or rear wheels. [ 31 ] In Europe, the DIN 70020 standard tests the engine fitted with all ancillaries and the exhaust system as used in the car.
Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.
A horsepower-hour (symbol: hp⋅h) is an outdated unit of energy, not used in the International System of Units.The unit represents an amount of work a horse is supposed capable of delivering during an hour (1 horsepower integrated over a time interval of an hour).
An engine power plant is a power station in which power comes from the combination of a reciprocating engine [1] and an alternator. Thanks to very short start-up time, [ 2 ] Engine power plants can provide full output within few minutes ( high flexibility ) and ensure load balancing.

This engine architecture is capable of delivering more than 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp), and will later feature with such power outputs in Ford passenger cars, alongside a 1.5-litre (1,498 cc) variant. In early 2018 Ford launched its Ranger Raptor with a biturbo 2.0-litre (1,995 cc) EcoBlue producing 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) and 500 N⋅m (369 lb⋅ ...

Brake horsepower per cubic centimeter or (bhp/cc) is a figure of merit that is used to indicate the 'state of tune' of an internal combustion engine. It is defined as the ratio of the engine's net power output to its displacement, the internal size. Power is measured at its rated speed and full throttle.
