What are Gigajoule and Kilowatt-second

A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one billion joules. One joule is the energy exerted when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter. Therefore, a gigajoule represents a substantial amount of energy, often used in industrial and scientific contexts to quantify large-scale energy transactions like natural gas pricing or electricity generation.

A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equivalent to the power of one kilowatt operating for one second. Since a watt is defined as one joule per second, a kilowatt-second is equal to 1000 joules. This unit is convenient for measuring short bursts of energy output or consumption, and it's often used in electrical engineering and related fields to describe the work done by electrical devices over short time intervals.
