Gigawatt-hour

The gigawatt-hour (GWh) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure large-scale electricity consumption. It is equal to the energy consumed by a device with a power rating of one gigawatt operating for one hour. One gigawatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 trillion joules.

Origin:

The gigawatt-hour is derived from the watt-hour, which is a unit of energy named after James Watt, a Scottish engineer and inventor. The prefix 'giga-' signifies a factor of one billion, making the gigawatt-hour equal to one billion watt-hours.

Kilowatt-second

The kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one thousand joules (1000 J). The kilowatt-second is commonly used to measure the energy content of foods and the amount of energy expended in physical activities.

Origin:

The kilowatt-second is derived from the joule, which is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. The prefix 'kilo-' signifies a factor of one thousand, making the kilowatt-second equal to one thousand joules.
