About Horsepower (metric) (PS)
The metric horsepower (PS, from German 'Pferdestarke') equals exactly 735.49875 watts, slightly less than the mechanical horsepower. European and Japanese car manufacturers traditionally rate engine output in PS, and the unit appears on specification sheets alongside kilowatts across continental Europe.
About Gigawatt (GW)
One billion watts, the gigawatt is used for national-scale power generation statistics and major infrastructure. The Hoover Dam produces about 2 GW at peak, and the Three Gorges Dam in China has a capacity of 22.5 GW. The famously quoted '1.21 gigawatts' from Back to the Future is actually a plausible lightning bolt power level.
