1kilowatt = 1000 watts
but you cannot compare a kilowatt hour to a watt, the extra dimension of time changes what is being measured. The watt is a measure of power. The watt second and the kilowatt hour is energy. The misunderstanding comes from our use of the term POWER COMPANY for our electricity suppliers. They bill us in kilowatt hours which is energy, not power.

How do you convert 1500 killiwat hours to joule?
1 kilowatt = 1,000 watts1 watt = 1 joule per second1 hour = 3,600 seconds(1,500 kilowatt-hour) x (1,000 watt / kilowatt) x (1 joule / watt-second) x (3,600 second / hour) =(1,500 x 1,000 x 3,600) x (kilowatt - hour - watt - joule- second) / (kilowatt - watt - second - hour)= 5,400,000,000 joules
How many units consumed per 24 hours of megawatt mot er?
Watt, kilowatt, or megawatt are units of power (energy/time). A watt is 1 joule/second. A kilowatt is a thousand joules per second. A kilowatt is also 1 kWh/hour (kilowatt-hour / hour). Since you would usually pay per kilowatt-hour, you might be more interested in the number of kilowatt-hours. A megawatt is a million joules per second - or a thousand kWh/hour.
How many KWh will one 250 Watt solar panel generate in one day Probably using 6.5 hours sunlight Southern California?
Use the formula: energy = power x time If energy is in watts and time is in hours, power will be in watt-hours. Divide that by 1000 to get kWh. Alternately, you can convert watt to kilowatt before doing the multiplication - in that case, kilowatt x hours = kilowatt-hours.
How many kilowatt-hours does a 50 watt fluorescent light bulb use in 24 hours?
50 watts is 0.05 kilowatts, so in 24 hours it uses 0.05 x 24 kilowatt-hours, or 1.2 kilowatt-hours of energy.
How many kilowatts does a revon hair dryer per hours?
No device uses "kilowatts per hour". A watt or kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy. That means that the "per hour" or "per second" is already implied - the watt refers to a "rate of energy conversion" - not to an amount of energy. If a devices uses a certain amount of kilowatts, it uses this amount all the time while it is on - whether it is kept on for a second or for several days.
