Average powerP(kW) = E(Wh) ÷ (Δt(h) × 1000)

Exact definition1 W = 1 J/s

iAverage power is measured over the same interval as the energy. Displayed results may be rounded.

How to use

Enter energy

Use Wh for the first field.

Example conversions

Common values with formula and result.

500 Wh over 5 hours

500 ÷ (5 × 1000) = 0.1 kW

0.1 kW

2000 Wh over 2 hours

2000 ÷ (2 × 1000) = 1 kW

1 kW

100 Wh over 1 hour

100 ÷ (1 × 1000) = 0.1 kW

0.1 kW

4800 Wh over 24 hours

4800 ÷ (24 × 1000) = 0.2 kW average

0.2 kW average
