What does a terajoule per second (TJ/s) measure?

A terajoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one trillion joules per second, representing extremely large power flows.

Why convert terajoule/second to megawatt?

Converting to megawatt translates very large power values into a more common unit used for power generation, grid capacity, and demand planning.

Can this conversion be used for everyday power measurements?

Since TJ/s values are very large, conversions to megawatts may produce numbers too big for typical everyday uses; selecting the right unit is important.
