Convert dekawatt to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to dekawatt.
How to Convert Dekawatt to Gigajoule/second
1 daW = 1e-08 GJ/s
Example: convert 15 daW to GJ/s:
15 daW = 15 × 1e-08 GJ/s = 1.5e-07 GJ/s

Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
