Calculation Formula

P_avg = E / t

Where:
P_avg = Average Power (kilowatts)
E = Energy Consumption (kilowatt-hours)
t = Duration (hours)

Average Power Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Average Power Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the energy consumption of your device in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is typically found on the device's energy label or electricity bill.
  2. Enter the duration in hours during which the energy was consumed.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the average power.
  4. The result will be displayed in kilowatts (kW).

Understanding Average Power

Average power is the mean rate at which energy is consumed over a period of time. It's calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the time duration.

Example

If a device consumes 150 kWh of energy over 5 hours, the average power would be:

P_avg = 150 kWh / 5 hours = 30 kW

Applications

This calculator can be used for:

  • Estimating energy consumption of household appliances
  • Calculating power requirements for industrial equipment
  • Energy efficiency analysis
  • Electricity bill verification
