BTU per kWh to kJ per kWh
Type a value in BTU/kWh to get it in kJ/kWh instantly.
10,550.56kJ/kWh
That's 1.03× as efficient as an old coal plant, while a gas-turbine peaker is 1.11× more efficient. Every kWh of electricity burns 2.931 kWh of fuel.
Convert the other way: kJ/kWh to BTU/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 BTU/kWh to kJ/kWh
Efficiency = 3,412.14 ÷ heat rate (BTU/kWh) = 3,600 ÷ heat rate (kJ/kWh) = 859.85 ÷ heat rate (kcal/kWh).
Example: 10,000 BTU/kWh = 10,550.6 kJ/kWh.
