The kilowatt (kW) is equal to one thousand (103) watts. This unit is typically used to express the output power of engines and the power of electric motors, tools, machines, and heaters. It is also a common unit used to express the electromagnetic power output of broadcast radio and television transmitters.
| 1 kilowatts = 1.0E-6 gigawatts | 6 kilowatts = 6.0E-6 gigawatts |
| 2 kilowatts = 2.0E-6 gigawatts | 7 kilowatts = 7.0E-6 gigawatts |
| 3 kilowatts = 3.0E-6 gigawatts | 8 kilowatts = 8.0E-6 gigawatts |
| 4 kilowatts = 4.0E-6 gigawatts | 9 kilowatts = 9.0E-6 gigawatts |
| 5 kilowatts = 5.0E-6 gigawatts | 10 kilowatts = 1.0E-5 gigawatts |
The gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion (109) watts or 1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts. This unit is often used for large power plants or power grids. For example, by the end of 2010 power shortages in China's Shanxi province were expected to increase to 5–6 GW and the installed capacity of wind power in Germany was 25.8 GW. The largest unit (out of four) of the Belgian Doel Nuclear Power Station has a peak output of 1.04 GW. HVDC converters have been built with power ratings of up to 2 GW.
| 1 gigawatts = 1000000 kilowatts | 6 gigawatts = 6000000 kilowatts |
| 2 gigawatts = 2000000 kilowatts | 7 gigawatts = 7000000 kilowatts |
| 3 gigawatts = 3000000 kilowatts | 8 gigawatts = 8000000 kilowatts |
| 4 gigawatts = 4000000 kilowatts | 9 gigawatts = 9000000 kilowatts |
| 5 gigawatts = 5000000 kilowatts | 10 gigawatts = 10000000 kilowatts |
| 1 kilowatts = 1.0 × 10-6 gigawatts |
| 1 gigawatts = 1 000 000 kilowatts |
