I'm not entirely sure I understand the question.
Watts are a measure of power.
Power (watts) applied over time consumes energy.
Voltage x Amperage = watts
1000 watts is one kilowatt. One kilowatt applied for one hour consumes 1 kilowatt hour of energy.

The calculation of kilowatt-hours (kWh) is done by multiplying the power consumption in kilowatts (kW) by the time in hours (h) that the power is being used. kWh = kW × h. For example, if a device has a power rating of 1 kW and is used for 2 hours, the energy consumption would be 2 kWh.

kW or kilowatts are power and not interchangeable with speed
The number of kilowatts used by a device in one hour. This gives you the rate at which energy is consumed.
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.
