A watt (W) is the standard unit for power and is the rate of electrical use at any moment. A kilowatt (kW) is simply 1000 watts.
A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit for power consumption and is equivalent to 1000 watts for one hour.
For instance, powering a 3400 watt clothes dryer for 30 minutes would consume 1.7kWh of electricity (3.4kW x 0.5h = 1.7kWh).
