Convert kilojoule/hour to terawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule/hour [kJ/h] to terawatt [TW], or Convert terawatt to kilojoule/hour.
1 kJ/h = 2.7778e-13 TW. To convert kilojoule/hour to terawatt, multiply the value by 2.7778e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TW = 3.6000e+12 kJ/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 kJ/h = 2.7778e-13 TW
- 1 TW = 3.6000e+12 kJ/h
- 10 kJ/h = 2.7778e-12 TW
- 100 kJ/h = 2.7778e-11 TW
How to Convert Kilojoule/hour to Terawatt
1 kJ/h = 2.77777778e-13 TW
Example: convert 15 kJ/h to TW:
15 kJ/h = 15 × 2.77777778e-13 TW = 4.16666667e-12 TW

Kilojoule/hour
A kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of energy in kilojoules transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per hour has been used as a measure of power in contexts where energy transfer rates are expressed over time, particularly in engineering and scientific applications, though it is less common than standard SI units like watts.
Current Use
kJ/h is used in specific fields such as thermodynamics and energy management to quantify energy transfer rates, especially in systems where energy is measured in kilojoules and the rate is expressed per hour, though it is often converted to watts for standardization.
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.
