What is a terawatt (TW)?

A terawatt is an SI unit of power equal to 10^12 watts, used to express extremely large energy transfer rates.

What does gigajoule per second (GJ/s) measure?

Gigajoule per second measures power as 10^9 joules delivered each second, equivalent to one gigawatt.

Why convert terawatts to gigajoule per second?

Converting helps represent very large power in units aligned with gigawatt scales common in engineering and power plant analyses.
