Convert kilowatt to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to kilowatt.
How to Convert Kilowatt to Exajoule/second
1 kW = 1e-15 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 kW to EJ/s:
15 kW = 15 × 1e-15 EJ/s = 1.5e-14 EJ/s

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
