The notation kW/h for the kilowatt-hour is incorrect, as it denotes kilowatt per hour. The hour is a unit of time listed among the non-SI units accepted by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures for use with the SI. [6] An electric heater consuming 1,000 watts (1 kilowatt) operating for one hour uses one kilowatt-hour of energy.

1 kWh = 3,600 kWs = 1,000 Wh = 3.6 million W·s = 3.6 million J. Electric and electronic devices consume electric energy to generate desired output (light, heat, motion, etc.). During operation, some part of the energy is lost depending on the electrical efficiency. [5] Electricity has been generated in power stations since 1882. [6]

Small hydro can be further subdivided into mini hydro, usually defined as 100 to 1,000 kilowatts (kW), and micro hydro which is 5 to 100 kW. Micro hydro is usually the application of hydroelectric power sized for smaller communities, single families or small enterprise. The smallest installations are pico hydro, below 5 kW.
Engine power is the power that an engine can put out. It can be expressed in power units, most commonly kilowatt, pferdestärke (metric horsepower), or horsepower.In terms of internal combustion engines, the engine power usually describes the rated power, which is a power output that the engine can maintain over a long period of time according to a certain testing method, for example ISO 1585.
