Enter the energy in kilowatt-hours and the time in hours into the calculator to determine the power in kilowatts. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
kW Per Hour Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the power in kilowatts (kW) per hour.
P = E / t
Variables:
- P is the power in kilowatts (kW)
- E is the energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh)
- t is the time in hours (h)
To calculate the power in kilowatts per hour, divide the energy in kilowatt-hours by the time in 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.
How to Calculate kW Per Hour?
The following steps outline how to calculate the kW per hour.
- First, determine the energy consumed or produced (E) in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
- Next, determine the time period (t) in hours (h).
- Next, gather the formula from above = P = E / t.
- Finally, calculate the power (P) in kilowatts (kW).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Energy consumed (E) = 24 kilowatt-hours (kWh)
Time period (t) = 3 hours (h)
