Convert terajoule/second to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert terajoule/second [TJ/s] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to terajoule/second.
1 TJ/s = 1000 GJ/s. To convert terajoule/second to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 0.001 TJ/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 TJ/s = 1000 GJ/s
- 1 GJ/s = 0.001 TJ/s
- 10 TJ/s = 10000 GJ/s
- 100 TJ/s = 100000 GJ/s
How to Convert Terajoule/second to Gigajoule/second
1 TJ/s = 1000 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 TJ/s to GJ/s:
15 TJ/s = 15 × 1000 GJ/s = 15000 GJ/s

Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 terajoule/second in gigajoule/second?
1 terajoule/second (TJ/s) = 1000 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert terajoule/second to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the terajoule/second value by 1000. For example, 25 TJ/s × 1000 = 25000 GJ/s.
