How to Convert Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Megawatts (MW)
Curious about how kilowatt-hours translate to megawatts? Letโs break it down!
kWh to MW Calculation Formula
The relationship between kilowatt-hours and megawatts can be expressed as:
MW = kWh / (hours ร 1000)Where:
- kWh = Kilowatt-hours
- MW = Megawatts
- hours = Time in hours
Example Calculation
If you have a total energy consumption of 15 kWh over 3 hours, the calculation would be:
MW = 15 kWh / (3 hours ร 1000) = 0.005 MWKilowatt-hours (kWh)
Kilowatt-hours (kWh) measure the total energy consumed over time. For more information, visit this Palmetto page.
Megawatts (MW)
Megawatts (MW) measure the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
