Convert exawatt to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert exawatt [EW] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to exawatt.
1 EW = 1000 PW. To convert exawatt to petawatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 0.001 EW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 EW = 1000 PW
- 1 PW = 0.001 EW
- 10 EW = 10000 PW
- 100 EW = 100000 PW
How to Convert Exawatt to Petawatt
1 EW = 1000 PW
Example: convert 15 EW to PW:
15 EW = 15 × 1000 PW = 15000 PW

Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
