How to convert watts to kWh

How to convert electric power in watts (W) to energy in kilowatt-hour (kWh).

You can calculate kilowatt-hour from watts and hours. You can't convert watt to kilowatt-hour unit since watt and kilowatt-hour unit represent different quantities.

Watts to kilowatt-hour calculation formula

So The energy E in kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to the power P in watts (W), times the time period t in hours (hr) divided by 1000.

E(kWh) = P(W) × t(hr) / 1000

So

kilowatt-hour = watt × hour / 1000

or

kWh = W × hr / 1000

Example 1

What is the energy consumption in watt-hour when the power consumption is 3000 watts for time duration of 3 hours?

E = 3000W × 3h / 1000 = 9 kWh

Example 2

What is the energy consumption in watt-hour when the power consumption is 4000 watts for time duration of 3 hours?

E = 4000W × 3h / 1000 = 12 kWh

Example 3

What is the energy consumption in watt-hour when the power consumption is 7000 watts for time duration of 3 hours?

E = 7000W × 3h / 1000 = 21 kWh

Example 4

What is the energy consumption in watt-hour when the power consumption is 10000 watts for time duration of 3 hours?

E = 10000W × 3h / 1000 = 30 kWh
