Assuming a year is 365 days, thats 8760 hours. And if 12kWh is the total
energy consumed in those 8760 hours, it gives an average power
consumption of about 1.37W. So your 13158 of them would have an average
power consumption of about 18kW. Big, yes, but not ridiculous.
But... I would gues that 12kWh figure is for the 'norma' use fo the Ipad,
not usein the processor flat-out all the time. Against that, I guess
some of the power goes to the RF communications stuff and even more to
the display and backpligth, which wouldn't bee needed in this application.

"The analysis shows that each model of the iPad consumes less than 12 kWh
of elelctricity over the course of a year, based on a full charge every other
day."
...A LOT. 13,158 iPads?
That's less than one
and a quarter kilometers! x 241.2mm x 185.7mm
How much power would they draw?
