Convert joule/hour to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert joule/hour [J/h] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to joule/hour.
1 J/h = 2.7778e-16 TW. To convert joule/hour to terawatt, multiply the value by 2.7778e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 3.6000e+15 J/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 J/h = 2.7778e-16 TW
- 1 TW = 3.6000e+15 J/h
- 10 J/h = 2.7778e-15 TW
- 100 J/h = 2.7778e-14 TW
How to Convert Joule/hour to Terawatt
1 J/h = 2.77778e-16 TW
Example: convert 15 J/h to TW:
15 J/h = 15 × 2.77778e-16 TW = 4.16667e-15 TW

Joule/hour
A joule per hour (J/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy (in joules) transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The joule per hour has been used as a measure of power in various scientific and engineering contexts, especially where energy transfer rates are expressed over longer periods. It is derived from the SI unit of energy, the joule, divided by time in hours.
Current Use
Joule per hour is occasionally used in fields like heating, energy consumption, and industrial processes to quantify power over extended durations, though it is less common than watts for standard power measurements.
Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
