What are Kilowatt-second and Gigajoule

Definition of Kilowatt-second

A Kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy equal to one thousand watts of power expended for one second. It's a measure of the amount of work done or energy transferred in a system within that time frame.

Definition of Gigajoule

A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one billion joules. It's commonly used to represent large-scale energy production, consumption, or transfer.
