You can do the reverse unit conversion from GW to petawatt, or enter any two units below:
The SI prefix "peta" represents a factor of 1015, or in exponential notation, 1E15.
So 1 petawatt = 1015 watts.
The definition of a watt is as follows:
The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit for power. It is equivalent to one joule per second (1 J/s), or in electrical units, one volt ampere (1 V·A).
The SI prefix "giga" represents a factor of 109, or in exponential notation, 1E9.
So 1 gigawatt = 109 watts.
The definition of a watt is as follows:
The watt (symbol: W) is the SI derived unit for power. It is equivalent to one joule per second (1 J/s), or in electrical units, one volt ampere (1 V·A).
