Jeff, technically kilowatt's already have a time based component, specifically a single watt is one Joule per second, thus anything measured in watt-seconds would deal in the change in current or whatever.

More to the point no STORED source of energy, which is what the 360 kJ = 360 kWs => 1 FP equation is for dealing with, would be measured in kWs, it would be measured in straight kilowatts, and while sources of energy (IE:Generators) would be rated in straight kilowatts they could also be rated in how much they can generate per second
