This converter allows you to convert joules per second [J/s] to gigawatts [GW] or gigawatts [GW] to joules per second [J/s]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 joule per second [J/s] = 10-9 gigawatts [GW]1 gigawatt [GW] = 109 joules per second [J/s]

Convert joules per second to gigawatts

There are two simple ways to convert joules per second [J/s] to gigawatts [GW]. In the first calculation method, the value in joules per second [J/s] is divided by 109. The second method multiplies the value in joules per second [J/s] by 10-9.

  • Gigawatts [GW] = joules per second [J/s] ÷ 109
  • Gigawatts [GW] = joules per second [J/s] * 10-9

Convert gigawatts to joules per second

Converting gigawatts [GW] to joules per second [J/s] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, whereby the value in gigawatts [GW] is multiplied by 109. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in gigawatts [GW] is divided by 10-9.

  • Joules per second [J/s] = gigawatts [GW] * 109
  • Joules per second [J/s] = gigawatts [GW] ÷ 10-9
