Kilowatt to Megawatt-Hour Converter
How to Convert Kilowatts (kW) to Megawatt-hours (MWh)
To convert Kilowatts (kW) to Megawatt-hours (MWh), use the formula:
kW to MWh Calculation Formula
The relationship between kilowatts and megawatt-hours can be expressed as:
MWh = kW × hours / 1000Where:
- kW = Kilowatts
- MWh = Megawatt-hours
- hours = Time in hours
Example Calculation
If you have a power measurement of 1500 kW used for 2 hours, the calculation would be:
MWh = 1500 kW × 2 hours / 1000 = 3 MWhKilowatts (kW)
Kilowatts (kW) measure the rate of energy transfer or conversion.
Megawatt-hours (MWh)
Megawatt-hours (MWh) measure the total energy consumed over time, equivalent to 1,000 kilowatt-hours. For more information, visit this Ballotpedia page.
