kJ per kWh to BTU per kWh
Type a value in kJ/kWh to get it in BTU/kWh instantly.
9,478.171BTU/kWh
That's 1.09× as efficient as an old coal plant, while a gas-turbine peaker is 1.06× more efficient. Every kWh of electricity burns 2.778 kWh of fuel.
Convert the other way: BTU/kWh to kJ/kWh
What it means
How efficient is that?
On the fuel’s heating value as given (HHV in the US, usually LHV in Europe); the same plant is about 10 % “more efficient” on LHV for natural gas.
The math
How to convert kJ/kWh to BTU/kWh
Efficiency = 3,412.14 ÷ heat rate (BTU/kWh) = 3,600 ÷ heat rate (kJ/kWh) = 859.85 ÷ heat rate (kcal/kWh).
Example: 10,000 kJ/kWh = 9,478.17 BTU/kWh.
