Convert gigawatt hour to j
Gigawatt-Hour
A gigawatt-hour (symbol: GW·h) is a unit of energy equal to 3.6 × 10¹² joules (3.6 terajoules), representing the energy delivered by one gigawatt of power sustained for one hour. It is used to measure the output of large power plants, national electricity generation, and grid-scale energy storage systems. One gigawatt-hour equals one million kilowatt-hours.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
