What does one petajoule per second represent?

One petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 joules per second, describing extremely large-scale power flows like national energy outputs.

Why convert petajoule per second to kilocalorie (th) per hour?

Converting PJ/s to kcal(th)/h translates massive power quantities into a thermal power unit commonly used for small-scale heat flow measurements in HVAC and appliance contexts.

Can I use this conversion for small power calculations?

No, petajoule per second is suited for very large power scales, whereas kilocalorie (th) per hour is used for small thermal power; they serve different application domains.
