Convert gigajoule/second to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule/second [GJ/s] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to gigajoule/second.
1 GJ/s = 1000000 kJ/s. To convert gigajoule/second to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1e-06 GJ/s
- 10 GJ/s = 10000000 kJ/s
- 100 GJ/s = 100000000 kJ/s
How to Convert Gigajoule/second to Kilojoule/second
1 GJ/s = 1000000 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 GJ/s to kJ/s:
15 GJ/s = 15 × 1000000 kJ/s = 15000000 kJ/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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
