What does one hectowatt represent?

One hectowatt equals 100 watts, representing a rate of energy transfer suitable for small household loads or small equipment.

Is kilojoule per second the same as kilowatt?

Yes, kilojoule per second is equivalent in magnitude to kilowatt, both representing 1,000 watts.

Why convert hectowatt to kilojoule per second?

Converting allows relating smaller-scale power measurements to larger industrial or engineering contexts where kilojoule per second is commonly used.
