How to convert Wh to kW

How to convert energy in watt-hour (Wh) to electric power in kilowatts (kW).

You can calculate kilowatt from watt-hour and hours, but you can't convert watt-hour to kilowatt units, since watt-hour and kilowatt units represent different quantities.

Watts-hour to kilowatts calculation formula

So The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to the energy E in watt-hour (Wh), divided by 1000 times the time period t in hours (h).

P_(kW) = E_(Wh) / (1000 × t_(h))

kilowatts = watt-hour / (1000 × hours)

kW = Wh / (1000 × h)

Example 1

What is the power consumption in kilowatts when the energy consumption is 12000 watt-hour for time duration of 3 hours?

P = 12000 Wh / (1000 × 3 h) = 2 kW

Example 2

What is the power consumption in kilowatts when the energy consumption is 14000 watt-hour for time duration of 3 hours?

P = 14000 Wh / (1000 × 3 h) = 4 kW

Example 3

What is the power consumption in kilowatts when the energy consumption is 16000 watt-hour for time duration of 3 hours?

P = 16000 Wh / (1000 × 3 h) = 6 kW

Example 4

What is the power consumption in kilowatts when the energy consumption is 18000 watt-hour for time duration of 3 hours?

P = 18000 Wh / (1000 × 3 h) = 8 kW

Example 5

What is the power consumption in kilowatts when the energy consumption is 19000 watt-hour for time duration of 3 hours?

P = 19000 Wh / (1000 × 3 h) = 9 kW
