Convert petajoule/second to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert petajoule/second [PJ/s] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to petajoule/second.
1 PJ/s = 0.001 EW. To convert petajoule/second to exawatt, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EW = 1000 PJ/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 PJ/s = 0.001 EW
- 1 EW = 1000 PJ/s
- 10 PJ/s = 0.01 EW
- 100 PJ/s = 0.1 EW
How to Convert Petajoule/second to Exawatt
1 PJ/s = 0.001 EW
Example: convert 15 PJ/s to EW:
15 PJ/s = 15 × 0.001 EW = 0.015 EW

Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
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 petajoule/second in exawatt?
1 petajoule/second (PJ/s) = 0.001 exawatt (EW).
How do you convert petajoule/second to exawatt?
Multiply the petajoule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 PJ/s × 0.001 = 0.025 EW.
What is 10 petajoule/second in exawatt?
10 PJ/s = 0.01 EW.
Which unit is larger, the petajoule/second or the exawatt?
The exawatt is the larger unit: 1 PJ/s equals only 0.001 EW.
