minus-squarepurplemonkeymad@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·6 个月前That’s watts multiplied by time, aka energy.
minus-squareTomtits@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down6·6 个月前So if you can have a kilowatt per hour, then why can’t you have a gigawatt per year?
minus-squareTaTTe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·6 个月前Because it’s not kilowatt per hour (kW/h), it’s kilowatt hours (kWh). It would be fine to say GW years, but then the question would be over how long? Most likely one year, which gives us GWy/y = GW.
minus-squareSaymaz@lemmygrad.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·6 个月前Kilowatt per hour is not energy. It’s just power generated per hour. Energy would be kilowatt × hour.
minus-squareautriyo@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 个月前A unit of measurement that only makes sense in the context of domestic electricity meters. Supposedly to make it easier for consumers. Or 3,6 Kilojoule.
So what is a kWh then?
