What does kilowatt measure?

Kilowatt is a derived SI unit of power measuring the rate of energy transfer or conversion, equal to 1,000 watts.

When should I use picojoule per second?

Picojoule per second is used to express extremely small continuous power levels in fields like microelectronics and photonics.

Is the conversion between kW and pJ/s straightforward?

Yes, one kilowatt equals one quadrillion picojoule per second, but the resulting values can be very large.
