I'm currently benchmarking a number of plants in my company which produce steam for downstream processing. What is a typical kWh/kg of steam ratio I could set as a best practice target? Thanks Paul
A 1000 watt device operated continusouly for 1 hour would equal 1 Kwh.
It takes about 4.4 tons of bauxite ore (and about 14000 KWH of electricity) to produce 1 ton of aluminum.
Since there are 6366 hours in a year, 1930 kWh is about 0.3 kW per hour. (1930 / 6366)
KWH = KW times hours If you run a 750 KW load (lights, motors, so forth) for 1 hour, you have 750 KWH. If you run it for 1/2 hour, 750 KW X .5 hours = 375 KWH. If you run it for 5 hours, 750 KW X 5 = you do the math.
approximately 40 kWh
The grams of CO2 emitted per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated from diesel can vary depending on the efficiency of the diesel generator. On average, diesel generators emit around 2.68 kg of CO2 per liter of diesel burned. To convert this to grams per kWh, you would need to know the efficiency of the generator in converting the energy in diesel to electricity.
9.96 kWh/litre theorical
Diesel Engine SFC is Specific Fuel Consumption of Diesel Engine. This used to know how efficient Fuel utilization of Diesel Engine to produce electricity. Usually formula of SFC is Fuel Consumption divided by Electricity Production (liter/kWh).
Dinorwig is a 'pumped storage' hydro power facility. It has a capacity to produce 1.89GW of electricity, which equates to 6.8TWh. I terms of kWh, this would be 6.8E9 kWh or 6,800,000,000 kWh. (6.8 billion kWh).
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
A heat pump cannot produce more kWh than it is given.
The energy equivalent for 1 liter of diesel is approximately 10.4 kWh. To get the equivalent in cubic meters of natural gas, you need to divide this energy value by the energy content of natural gas, which is around 0.038 MJ/liter or 0.038 kWh/liter. Therefore, 10.4 kWh of diesel is equivalent to roughly 273.68 cubic meters of natural gas.
0.3 l/kwh
The two sets of units are not compatible. While a gallon may be converted to a litre, there is no relationship between kWh and hour.
Assuming the solar panel operates at full capacity for one hour, it would produce 0.2 kWh (200 watts * 1 hour = 0.2 kWh).
A 1 MW gas-fired power plant operating at full capacity for one hour would produce 1 MWh (megawatt-hour) of electricity. This is equivalent to 1000 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
