What does one hectowatt represent?

One hectowatt (hW) equals 100 watts, representing the power rate of energy transfer or conversion.

What kind of power does terajoule per second measure?

Terajoule per second (TJ/s) measures very large power rates, equivalent to one terawatt or 10^12 watts.

Why are converted values from hW to TJ/s so small?

Because hectowatt measures small-scale power and terajoule per second measures extremely large power, the conversion results in tiny fractional values.
