The difference between kW(kilowatts) and bhp(brake horse power) is down to which system of measurement you are using. kW is from the metric system (meters, kilometers, grams etc) while bhp is from the emperial system (pounds, inches, yards etc). A quick Google search will bring up many easy calculations to convert between the two.
On vehicles both are usually measured by a dynamometer (or dyno for short) of which there are two types - Inertial mass acceleration and brake force (names vary by country or manufacturer. A brake force dyno is used to measure bhp as the name implies.

How do you calculate electricity bill from CT meter?
Take the amount of kWh that the meter states that you have used and multiply it by the cost of a kWh in your area.Another AnswerSubtract the energy meter reading from the previous billing period from that from the current billing period to determine the number of kilowatt hours used during that period. Multiply this difference by the cost per kilowatt hour charged by your energy provider. Note, however, some energy providers have a complicated billing system (tariff) in which the cost per kilowatt hour changes according to the amount of energy you use: x cents per kilowatt hour for the first so many kilowatt hours, y cents per kilowatt hour for the next so many kilowatt hours, and so on. Additionally, there may be a multiplication factor based on the changing price of fuel.
What is the difference between kilowatt hours and kilowats?
Kilowatts are a measure of electrical power. Kilowatt hours are a measure of how much electrical power has been used.
What is difference between Kilowatt power vs kilowatt hour?
Kilowatt is a measure of the rate of energy use. It is 1,000 Watts or 1,000 Joules per second. A kilowatt hour is 1,000 Joules per second for 3,600 seconds or 3,600,000 Joules. This means a Kilowatt hour not a rate but a measure of total energy used.
What is the difference between a brake booster and power brakes?
The brake booster is part of the power brake system.
What is the difference between Kilovolt Ampere and Kilowatt?
A kilowatt is an unit of true power in an AC circuit -as measured by a wattmeter. A kilovolt ampere is an unit of apparent power in an AC circuit, which is the product of the voltage across a load by the current through it. The relationship between the two is: kilowatt = (kilovolt ampere) x (power factor of load)
