Convert terajoule/second to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert terajoule/second [TJ/s] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to terajoule/second.
1 TJ/s = 1000000 MW. To convert terajoule/second to megawatt, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 MW
- 1 MW = 1e-06 TJ/s
- 10 TJ/s = 10000000 MW
- 100 TJ/s = 100000000 MW
How to Convert Terajoule/second to Megawatt
1 TJ/s = 1000000 MW
Example: convert 15 TJ/s to MW:
15 TJ/s = 15 × 1000000 MW = 15000000 MW

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.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
