Best Answer

to convert Kw toKWh you should calculate the field under the Kw/hour graph.

The "X" parameter is the hour

The "Y" Parameter is Kw

The filed between the graph to the axis. if it's a linear graph it should be very simple (triangle field calculation) but if it doesn't you should use an integral.

Anyway - there is no specific formula to convert KW to KWh

They don't exactly convert. Kw is a measure of power equaling 1000 watts. Kwh is a measure of power consumption equalling 1000 watts for one hour. You can find Kwh by multiplying power times time.

Some examples: a 100 watt bulb illuminated for 10 hours = 1 Kwh.

A 1000 watt bulb illuminated for one hour.

A 1 watt bulb illuminated for 1000 hours.

A 25 watt bulb illuminated for 40 hours

AnswerThe unit kWh is a unit of energy, which is power multiplied by time. Multiply the power of the equipment (measured in W or kW) by time used (measured in h) and you get the energy in kWh.

Examples:

A power of 1 kW over a time of one hour is one kWh. A 100 W (0.1 kW) bulb left on for 5 hours uses 0.1 x 5 = 0.5 kWh.

If your home uses an average of 500 W (0.5 kW) then it will consume 12 kWh per day (24 h).

Also not the correct capitalization. Only the W (Watt) is capitalized, the k (kilo = 1000) prefix and the time unit h (hour) are not.

=============================================================

1 KWh, is 1 kilowatt per second, for 1 hour, or 1KW x 3600 seconds (3,600,000 watts)

Answer:

Simply, multiply the power (kW) by the time duration (in hours) the power has been consumed.

Then you'll get the energy the equipment/system has consumed (kilo Joules).

*[1kW = 1 kJ/s]

Example: A 100W bulb used for 5 hours...

Then, energy consumed = (100/1000)kW x 5h = 0.5 kWh

A kilowatt (kW) is the unit used to measure the rate of energy consumption of an electrical appliance or some other kind of electrical equipment. It is equal to 1000 watts.

A kilowatt-hour (kW.h) is a unit of energy consumed and is equal to 1000 watts used for one hour. It is also equal to 2 kilowatts used for half and hour, 10 kilowatts used for 1/10 of an hour, etc.

Divide by 3600A second is 1/3600 of an hour. Therefore 1kWs = 1kW x 1/3600h = 1/3600kWh
