Megawatts to Kilowatt-hour (MW to kWh)

Megawatts to Kilowatt-Hour Converter

How to Convert Megawatts (MW) to Kilowatt-Hours (kWh)

To convert Kilowatt-hours (kWh) to Kilowatts (kW), you need to know the time (in hours) over which the energy was used, because Kilowatts is a unit of power (energy รท time), while Kilowatt-hours is a unit of energy.

MW to kWh Calculation Formula

The energy E in kilowatt-hours (kWh) is equal to the power P in megawatts (MW) multiplied by the time t in hours (h) and then multiplied by 1,000:

E(kWh) = P(MW) ร— t(h) ร— 1,000

Example Calculation

If you have a power measurement of 2 MW and the time is 3 hours, the calculation would be:

E(kWh) = 2 MW ร— 3 h ร— 1,000 = 6,000 kWh

Power (MW)

Megawatts (MW) represent the rate of energy transfer or conversion. It indicates how much energy is used per unit of time.

Time (h)

Time (hours) is the duration for which the power is applied. It is essential for calculating energy consumption.

Energy (kWh)

Kilowatt-hours (kWh) represent the total energy consumed or produced over time. For more information, visit this resource.
