Yes, the shorter way to say kilowatt is 'kW'. Now, 'kW' stands for kilowatt, which is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It's used universally in all types of engineering, from motor power to electrical powers. The term 'kilo' means a thousand and 'watt' is a unit of power, so together 'kilowatt' implies a thousand watts. It's like if you compare apples to a bag of apples, where 1 apple compared to 1 kilo of apples is like 1 watt compared to 1 kilowatt. So, when you're needing to express things in a more concise way, just use 'kW'. However, always ensure the context allows for such abbreviation, as without sufficient context, 'kW' may not be clearly understood.
