How to Convert Joule to Gigawatt-hourGigawatt-hour

1 J = 2.777777777777778e-13 GWh
1 GWh = 3600000000000 J

Example: convert 26 J to GWh:
26 J = 26 x 2.777777777777778e-13 = 7.222222222222223e-12 GWh

Joule

Definition: The joule (symbol: J) is the SI derived unit of energy. It is defined as the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m).

History/origin: Named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. Joule experimentally determined the mechanical equivalent of heat.

Current use: Used universally in science and engineering to quantify energy, work, and heat. Examples include kinetic energy, potential energy, and heat content of materials.

Gigawatt-hour

Definition: A gigawatt-hour (symbol GWh) is a unit of energy equal to one gigawatt (1,000,000,000 watts) of power sustained for one hour. It represents a very large amount of energy.

History/origin: The gigawatt-hour is a derivative of the watt-hour, using the SI prefix 'giga-' to denote a factor of one billion. It became relevant with the development of very large-scale power generation facilities.

Current use: Gigawatt-hours are used to measure the energy output of entire power grids, the energy consumption of large countries or regions, and the total energy production of large renewable energy projects.
