What does 1 MJ/s represent in terms of power?

One megajoule per second represents power equivalent to one megawatt, quantifying the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert MJ/s to GW?

Converting MJ/s to GW allows users to scale power measurements to very large values typical in utility-scale power generation and grid management.

Can this conversion account for power quality factors?

No, this conversion assumes just joules per second and does not consider factors like reactive power or power factor.
