kW per Hour Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Power (P) in kilowatts (kW) from the Energy (E) in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and the Time (t) in hours:

\[ P = \frac{E}{t} \]

Where:

\(P\) is the Power (kW)
\(E\) is the Energy (kWh)
\(t\) is the Time (hours)

What is kW Per Hour?

kW per hour is a unit of power that represents the rate of energy conversion or consumption in kilowatts for each hour of time. It is commonly used to measure the output of generators, the consumption of electric devices, and the charging rate of electric vehicles. Understanding kW per hour can help in estimating electricity costs and energy efficiency.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Energy (\(E\)) = 10 kWh
Time (\(t\)) = 2 hours

Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ kW} \]

The Power is 5 kW.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Energy (\(E\)) = 20 kWh
Time (\(t\)) = 4 hours

Using the formula:

\[ P = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \text{ kW} \]

The Power is 5 kW.
