Convert gigajoule/second to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule/second [GJ/s] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to gigajoule/second.
1 GJ/s = 1000000000 J/s. To convert gigajoule/second to joule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 1e-09 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 = 1000000000 J/s
- 1 J/s = 1e-09 GJ/s
- 10 GJ/s = 10000000000 J/s
- 100 GJ/s = 100000000000 J/s
How to Convert Gigajoule/second to Joule/second
1 GJ/s = 1000000000 J/s
Example: convert 15 GJ/s to J/s:
15 GJ/s = 15 × 1000000000 J/s = 15000000000 J/s

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.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
