Convert gigajoule/second to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule/second [GJ/s] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to gigajoule/second.
1 GJ/s = 1e-09 EW. To convert gigajoule/second to exawatt, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EW = 1000000000 GJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 GJ/s = 1e-09 EW
- 1 EW = 1000000000 GJ/s
- 10 GJ/s = 1e-08 EW
- 100 GJ/s = 1e-07 EW
How to Convert Gigajoule/second to Exawatt
1 GJ/s = 1e-09 EW
Example: convert 15 GJ/s to EW:
15 GJ/s = 15 × 1e-09 EW = 1.5e-08 EW

Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 gigajoule/second in exawatt?
1 gigajoule/second (GJ/s) = 1e-09 exawatt (EW).
How do you convert gigajoule/second to exawatt?
Multiply the gigajoule/second value by 1e-09. For example, 25 GJ/s × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 EW.
What is 10 gigajoule/second in exawatt?
10 GJ/s = 1e-08 EW.
Which unit is larger, the gigajoule/second or the exawatt?
The exawatt is the larger unit: 1 GJ/s equals only 1e-09 EW.
