Power_{(Decibel-watts)} = 10 × Math.log(Power_(Gigawatts) × 1e9) × Math.LOG10E

Gigawatts unit in Power

The Gigawatt (GW) is a unit of power equal to one billion watts or 1,000 megawatts. It is commonly used to describe the output of large power grids or the total energy consumption of large regions or countries.

Decibel-watts unit in Power

The Decibel-watt (dBW) is a logarithmic unit used to express power levels relative to 1 watt. It is used in fields like telecommunications and broadcasting to measure the output of high-power transmitters.
