How to convert megawatt hours to kilojoules (MWh to kJ)
The formula for converting megawatt hours to kilojoules is: kJ = MWh × 3600000. To calculate the megawatt hour value in kilojoules first substitute the megawatt hour value into the preceding formula, and then perform the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 megawatt hour in kilojoules we follow these steps:
kJ = MWh × 3600000
kJ = 1 × 3600000
kJ = 3600000
In other words, 1 megawatt hour is equal to 3600000 kilojoules.
Example Conversion
Let's take a look at an example. The step-by-step process to convert 8 megawatt hours to kilojoules is:
- Understand the conversion formula: kJ = MWh × 3600000
- Substitute the required value. In this case we substitute 8 for MWh so the formula becomes: kJ = 8 × 3600000
- Calculate the result using the provided values. In our example the result is: 8 × 3600000 = 28800000 kJ
In summary, 8 megawatt hours is equal to 28800000 kilojoules.
Converting kilojoules to megawatt hours
In order to convert the other way around i.e. kilojoules to megawatt hours, you would use the following formula: MWh = kJ × 0.00000027777777777778. To convert kilojoules to megawatt hours first substitute the kilojoule value into the above formula, and then execute the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 kilojoule in megawatt hours we follow these steps:
MWh = kJ × 0.00000027777777777778
MWh = 1 × 0.00000027777777777778
MWh = 0.00000027777777777778
Or in other words, 1 kilojoule is equal to 0.00000027777777777778 megawatt hours.
