Terawatt
A terawatt (TW) is a unit of power equal to one trillion watts (10^12 watts).
History/Origin
The term 'terawatt' was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify extremely large power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production, gaining prominence in the 20th century with advancements in large-scale energy and power measurement.
Current Use
Terawatts are used to describe the total power output of large-scale energy sources, such as the total global power consumption, solar radiation received by Earth, and astrophysical phenomena.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
