Understanding Gigawatt and BTU per Second
Gigawatt (GW)
The gigawatt is a unit of power in the SI system, used for metric measurements.
• 1 gigawatt = 1,000,000,000 watts
• Used for large power stations and national grids
• Nuclear power plants typically produce 1-2 GW
• Major cities require multiple GW of power
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
The btu per second is a unit of power in the Imperial system, used for thermal measurements.
• Used for very large industrial boilers
• Common in power generation plants
• Used for district heating systems
• Standard for major industrial processes
