Gigawatt-hour to Watt-second Conversion Formula

To convert from Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Watt-second (Ws), use the following formula:

 Watt-second (Ws)\textbf{ Watt-second} \text{ (Ws)}

=60×60×109× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 60 \times 60 \times 10^{9}\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

=3600000000000× Gigawatt-hour (GWh)= 3600000000000\times \textbf{ Gigawatt-hour} \text{ (GWh)}

Example

Let's convert 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) to Watt-second (Ws).

Using the formula:

5×3600000000000=180000000000005 \times 3600000000000 = 18000000000000

Therefore, 5 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is equal to 1800000000000018000000000000 Watt-second (Ws).

What is a Gigawatt-hour (GWh)?

A Gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 3600000000000 Joules (J). The plural form is Gigawatt-hours.

What is a Watt-second (Ws)?

A Watt-second (Ws) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), equal to Joules (1 J). The plural form is Watt-seconds.

What is the International System of Units (SI)?

The International System of Units (SI) is the modern form of the metric system and the most widely used system of measurement in the world. It is founded on seven fundamental units: the second (time), meter (length), kilogram (mass), ampere (electric current), kelvin (thermodynamic temperature), mole (amount of substance), and candela (luminous intensity).
