Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year.

如今，能源储存是价值330亿美元的全球化产业，每年产生近1000亿瓦时的电力。

This is the first wind farm in the 10 gigawatt mega-project.

这是这个10吉瓦风电项目的首个风电场。

Wind costs more than $2.5 billion per gigawatt to build, compared with $600 million for gas.

风能发电25亿美元每千兆瓦的建造成本，对比汽油只需要6亿。

For renewables a gigawatt of power is a massive amount; for nuclear power it is the basic unit.

十亿瓦对于可再生资源来说是一个大数目，可对于核动力而言，却是最基本的。

These would generate more than 18,000 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, around a third of current consumption.

这样一年将会增加超过18,000千兆瓦小时的电能，是当前电力消耗的三分之一。

One nuclear power plant yields a gigawatt of power, meaning 8000 nuclear power plants would be needed to produce 8 terawatts.

一座核电站能产生十亿瓦电量，这意味着，要产生8太瓦电量，需要8000座核电站。

There is no reason why multiple units could not be connected together to store much more power, Howe says several gigawatt hours.

当提及数千兆瓦时，豪反问，为什么不能将多个机组串联起来，存贮更多的能量。

But DOE officials estimate that such a supercomputer would require a gigawatt of power to operate, or about the output of nuclear power plant.

但美国能源部的官员估计这样一台超级计算机将需要十亿瓦特的动力才能运转，大概相当于一座核电站所产生的动力。

To replace a one-gigawatt coal plant running at 70% of capacity with solar panels would require about half of the 6gw installed worldwide last year.

以太阳能电池板70%的产能替代10亿瓦的火电站运行，大约需要相当于去年全球安装的6gw的一半的装机容量。

Well, here's another reason not to like it: the malls of America consume more than a gigawatt of electricity per month playing the anodyne sales-spurring pop.

现在有另外一个理由让你痛恨这种音乐：仅一个月，美国商场就要耗费超过十亿瓦特的电来播放这种无关痛痒、刺激消费的流行音乐。

With the overall PV market growing in the gigawatt range, CPV has an opportunity to enter the market with production of tens or hundreds of megawatts per year.

由于整个PV（光伏太阳能）市场的增长在10亿瓦特范围内，所以每年可能有数万千瓦或数十万千瓦的CPV电力进入市场。

The station will generate 1 gigawatt of power from sunlight and beam the energy down to a receiving station where it can be used to power almost 300, 000 homes.

该电站将从太阳光产生10亿瓦特的电量，然后通过光的方式传送到地面接收站，可供30万家庭使用。

He calculates that all the emissions from a gigawatt coal-fired power plant could be lifted away using a single engine with a nozzle speed of 460 metres a second.

据其计算，使用喷速为每秒460米的单台喷气发动机便可将容量一千兆瓦的燃煤发电厂所有的排放物吹散。

An Italian company, Kitegen, has come up with a theoretical design for a system that could generate a gigawatt, as much power as a standard coal-fired power station.

意大利公司奇特根设想出一个能够产生10亿瓦电的发电理论模型，足以与传统燃煤发电站相媲美。

But China is adding about 1 gigawatt in coal-fired capacity a week, Mr. Myllyvirta said, as companies that have easy access to loans from state Banks build new plants.

不过，柳力表示，中国现在平均每周新增约1千兆瓦的燃煤发电容量，因为比较容易从国有银行获得贷款的企业还在建设新发电厂。

It expects to install 14 gigawatts of solar panels in 2015, which represent about a quarter out of the 55 gigawatt worldwide output, according to a recent report from GTM Research.

GTM Research的最近一篇报告指出，中国预计将在2015年安装140亿瓦特的太阳能发电板，大约占全球总产能(550亿瓦特)的四分之一。
