About Kilowatt Hour
One kilowatt-hour is the energy from 1 kW of power for one hour: 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J. Utility bills and battery specs often use kWh.
About Kilowatt-hour (thermal)
Kilowatt-hour (thermal) is shown as a thermal-energy label and uses the same joule definition as kWh (3.6 MJ).
How to convert kilowatt hours to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
1 kilowatt hour is equal to 1 kilowatt-hour (thermal) when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:
1 kwh = (3,600,000 J ÷ 3,600,000 J) kwh_th = 1 kwh_th
Each kilowatt hour is defined as 3,600,000 J and each kilowatt-hour (thermal) as 3,600,000 J in this tool, so one kwh equals 3,600,000 ÷ 3,600,000 kwh_th = 1 kwh_th.
Let d(kwh) be the numeric amount in Kilowatt Hour (kwh), and d(kwh_th) the amount in Kilowatt-hour (thermal) (kwh_th). Then:
d(kwh_th) = d(kwh) × (3,600,000 / 3,600,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many kwh fit into one kwh_th (joules per kwh_th divided by joules per kwh):
d(kwh_th) = d(kwh) ÷ 1
Or: kilowatt-hour (thermal) = kilowatt hour ÷ 1
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kwh to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
1 kwh = 1 kwh × (3,600,000/3,600,000) kwh_th = 1 kwh_th
1 kwh = 1 kwh ÷ 1 = 1 kwh_th
Example #2: Convert 10 kwh to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
10 kwh = 10 kwh × (3,600,000/3,600,000) kwh_th = 10 kwh_th
10 kwh = 10 kwh ÷ 1 = 10 kwh_th
Summary
To convert Kilowatt Hour to Kilowatt-hour (thermal), multiply the value in kwh by the ratio of joules per kwh divided by joules per kwh_th. Equivalently: value_kwh_th = value_kwh × (3600000 / 3600000). Numerically, 1 kwh equals 1 kwh_th.
Relationship context
Both units are electrical energy (watt-hours). Conversions use fixed joule factors, so results stay consistent with the definitions in this converter. The factor from Kilowatt Hour to Kilowatt-hour (thermal) is 1.000000e+0 (1 kwh = 1 kwh_th).
