You need to understand the difference between power - as in watts - and energy - as in Watt hours.

Watts/kiloWatts only tells you what it's doing at the moment, at that very instant. While Wh/kWh tell you the sum of what it's been doing over a certain time.

1 kW = 1000 w

So 90 W / 1000 W = 0.09 kW

As soon at the light is turned on, the lamp starts to use energy at the rate of 90 W = 0.09 kW

If you leave it on for 12 hours it will have used up 0.09 x 12 = 1.08 kWh

A generator producing 1 MW will sell how many units of electricity?

1 MW is 1000 kilowatts, so in 1 Hour it will sell 1000 units (taking a unit as 1 kilowatt hour)


How can you calculate heat rate in a gas engine using natural gas for producing electricity?

You need to know the energy content of the natural gas which may vary from one supplier to another, the supplier will tell you this, it will be in some unit like kilojoules per cubic meter or cubic foot. Then with the engine running at a steady output, over a period of an hour or preferably more, measure accurately the amount of gas consumed, and from that calculate the energy content of the gas. At the same time measure the kilowatts of electrical output over the same period. If it is varying slightly measure it at intervals and take an average. The energy output is then this figure of kilowatts times the number of seconds elapsed, the result then being in kilojoules, and you can compare this with the energy input over the same period to get an efficiency ratio.


What is the watt of 2ton ac?

Running 8 hours a day, a two ton air conditioner uses approx 720 kwh/month (which is about 2.4 kilowatts per hour over the month).The usage decreases with longer operation. See chart at the link I have provided.


How do you calculate current consumption per hour?

You are confusing energy and current. You consume, and pay for, energy -not current.For the purpose of billing its customers, an electricity utility measures energy in units called kilowatt hours. In the UK, a kilowatt hour is also called a 'unit', short for 'Board of Trade unit'. The Board of Trade, which no longer exists, used to be the government organisation responsible for setting energy prices.A unit, or kilowatt hour, of energy is the amount of energy consumed at the rate of one kilowatt over a period of one hour. So, to determine the number of units that an electrical load 'consumes', you simply multiply its power in kilowatts by the time for which it operates, in hours.


How do you calculate kwh?

The 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.Simply, multiply power (kW) from the time (in hours) the equipment has been used..P (kW) x t (h) = Pt (kWh)

How much does it cost to run a floodlight for eight hours?

The operating cost is based on the consumption of kilowatts over a period of time. This is known as kilowatt/hours. The rate of the kilowatt hour in your area must be stated. The size and voltage or wattage of the flood light must be stated. Without this data no answer can be given.


How many kilowatt hours - KWh - are used to light a 30 watt light bulb for 1 hour?

A kilowatt is 1,000 Watts. 30 Watts is equal to 0.03 kilowatts. A kWh or kilowatt-hour is the rate of electrical usage. It is a measure of kilowatts used per period of time (1 hour). 1 kWh is 1 kilowatt (1,000 watts) for 1 hour. So, multiply your 30 watts (0.03 kilowatts) by 1 hour to get kWh. =0.03 kWh In about 33 hours and 20 minutes, this lamp would use 1 kWh.

How many kilowatts made each hour from a 1 MW turbine?

Every hour a 1 Megawatt turbine would produce 1,000,000 watts. That would be the equivalent of 1,000 Kilowatts.


What is is the cost of 1 KWh of gas?

A kilowatt hour is a unit of work or energy, and the product of power in kilowatts and time in hours. So, for example, it can be the work done, at a rate of one kilowatt, over a period of one hour.

How long could you power a television with 360 kilowatts?

360 kilowatts would power about 1000 TVs, indefinitely. If 360 kilowatts of power were used, the energy used in 1 hour would be 360 kilowatt-hours.


How many kilowatts per hour does a flat screen tv use?

None. There is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. If, on the other hand, you are asking how many 'kilowatt hours' a flatscreen television uses, simply look at its nameplate to find its power rating in kilowatts (more likely, it's in watts, so you need to divide by 1000), and multiply it by 1 to find the number of kilowatt hours consumed over a period of one hour.
