Convert terawatt to kilojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert terawatt [TW] to kilojoule/second [kJ/s], or Convert kilojoule/second to terawatt.
1 TW = 1000000000 kJ/s. To convert terawatt to kilojoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ/s = 1e-09 TW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 TW = 1000000000 kJ/s
- 1 kJ/s = 1e-09 TW
- 10 TW = 10000000000 kJ/s
- 100 TW = 100000000000 kJ/s
How to Convert Terawatt to Kilojoule/second
1 TW = 1000000000 kJ/s
Example: convert 15 TW to kJ/s:
15 TW = 15 × 1000000000 kJ/s = 15000000000 kJ/s

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.
Kilojoule/second
A kilojoule per second (kJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one kilojoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The kilojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), and has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure power, especially in fields like physics and energy studies.
Current Use
It is used to quantify power in various applications, including electrical power, mechanical power, and energy transfer rates, particularly where kilojoules and seconds are the relevant units.
