Decibel-watts
A decibel watt (dBW) is a unit of power level relative to one watt, expressed in decibels. It is commonly used in telecommunications and audio engineering to describe power levels in a logarithmic scale.
Gigawatts
A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.
