Gigawatt-hour to Kilocalorie Conversion Formula

To convert from Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Kilocalorie (kcal), use the following formula:

 Kilocalorie (kcal)\textbf{ Kilocalorie} \text{ (kcal)}

=60×60×109×14.184×11000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{1}{4.184} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=860420650.09560229446× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 860420650.09560229446\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

With 14.184\frac{1}{4.184} is the ratio between the base units calorie (cal) and Joule (J).

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Kilocalorie (kcal).

Using the formula:

5×860420650.09560229446=4302103250.47801147235 \times 860420650.09560229446 = 4302103250.4780114723

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 4302103250.47801147234302103250.4780114723 Kilocalorie (kcal).
