Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to gigawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to gigawatt [GW], or Convert gigawatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-09 GW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to gigawatt, multiply the value by 1.163e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GW = 859845227.859 kcal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kcal/h = 1.163e-09 GW
- 1 GW = 859845227.859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1.163e-08 GW
- 100 kcal/h = 1.163e-07 GW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Gigawatt
1 kcal/h = 1.163e-09 GW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to GW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 1.163e-09 GW = 1.7445e-08 GW

Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Gigawatt
A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power equal to one billion watts, used to measure large-scale electrical power generation or consumption.
History/Origin
The gigawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's adoption for expressing large power quantities, particularly in the context of electrical engineering and energy projects, becoming widely used in the 20th century with the growth of large power plants and national grids.
Current Use
Gigawatts are commonly used today to quantify the capacity of power plants, energy production, and national or regional power consumption levels, especially in the context of renewable energy projects and large-scale infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour in gigawatt?
1 kilocalorie (IT)/hour (kcal/h) = 1.163e-09 gigawatt (GW).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to gigawatt?
