What does gigajoule/second measure?

Gigajoule/second is a power unit measuring energy transfer or conversion at a rate of 10^9 joules per second, also recognized as one gigawatt.

Why convert gigajoule/second to kilocalorie (th)/second?

This conversion is useful to express large-scale power values in thermal energy units based on the thermochemical calorie, common in thermal engineering and scientific research.

Can I use this conversion for small power applications?

Conversions between these large units may be less meaningful for small power levels where more detailed units are better suited.
