Convert power in watts to energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh) over a specific time period.
Learn how to use the Watts to Energy Calculator and its working principles
The calculator uses the formula:
Energy (kWh) = Power (W) × Time (h) / 1000
This formula converts power from watts to energy in kilowatt-hours by multiplying the power consumption by the time duration and then dividing by 1000 to convert watts to kilowatts.
If a device consumes 500 watts of power and is used for 10 hours, the energy consumption would be:
Energy (kWh) = 500 W × 10 h / 1000 = 5 kWh
This means that the device would consume 5 kilowatt-hours of energy in 10 hours.
