Convert Kwmonth to MWh?
First KW-Month and MWh are different measures kilowatt-month
(KW-month) is normally used to measure capacity. Megawatt hours
(MWh) is a measure of energy. Using an airline as an analogy the
number and size of planes would determine how many air travel miles
it could possible carry passengers. This is its capacity. For
electrical energy this ability to produce energy is measured in
Kw-months. A small 1000 watt (1KW) generator sitting in a persons
garage is 1KW of capacity. If that person sold the right to use
that generator to a neighbor for a month then he\she has sold
1KW-month of capacity. In the electrical energy sector of the US
this would be likely worth between $5 and $15.
Keep in mind this capacity charge is for the right to use the
generator. Actually using it would incur additional costs of fuel
and maintenance. The contract with the neighbor would need to
include these also. The contract would have the charge for the
capacity and another charge for the electrical energy actually
used.
This little machine is only capable of producing 1KW running it
at 1KW for one hour is 1kWh or one kilowatt hour around a dimes
worth of power. Running this rate for a 1000 hours would produce
one million watt hours or one megawatt hour (1MWh) Jerry Watson
