Every mining operation has unique energy demands. The right tools should adapt to your strategy, allowing you to seamlessly automate responses, optimize efficiency, and scale operations.
The team at Foreman has done a lot of work to make the Power Control dashboard the standard. On the other hand, the API enables additional programmatic solutions to automate miner operations, create custom dispatches, and implement tailored algorithms. It’s built for businesses looking to move beyond pre-configured options and take a more customized, scalable approach to curtailments and energy savings.
Key Features of the Foreman Power Control API
- Programmatic curtailments via API
- Dispatch Creation
- Custom Algorithms and Strike Prices
- Demand Response Integration
The Foreman team has developed power control options directly within the Foreman Dashboard, allowing for easy setup of cost avoidance, real-time market responses, and Demand Response through a simple point-and-click interface. The API expands on these capabilities, enabling deeper automation, custom dispatch strategies, and fully tailored energy management solutions.
Customers can programmatically wake and sleep miners, enabling automated adjustments to power usage that align with their operational requirements. The API also facilitates dispatch creation through code without needing dashboard input and streamlines energy management workflows. Additionally, it supports the implementation of custom algorithms and machine-specific strike prices, empowering businesses to design tailored curtailment strategies.
Advantages of the Foreman Power Control API
Flexibility for Custom Solutions
The API allows customers to build tailored solutions that align with their requirements. Businesses can implement proprietary algorithms, factoring in real-time market conditions, electricity price adders, and machine-specific efficiency metrics. Advanced sub-client segmentation enables precise control over different operational units, allowing companies to curtail specific sub-clients or machine subsets based on energy costs, performance levels, or contract-specific agreements.
Scalability for Large Operations
For businesses managing substantial miner fleets or complex energy demands, the API scales effortlessly to meet their needs. Its programmatic capabilities make it ideal for large-scale setups looking to optimize energy consumption and maximize uptime.
Secure Data Handling
By using the API, businesses can maintain the confidentiality of their proprietary data, such as strike prices and algorithms, ensuring their competitive edge remains protected.
Pricing and Access Teirs for Power Control
The Foreman Power Control API is part of a tiered pricing model designed to cater to varying operational needs. Customers can choose from four options based on their requirements:
- Standard Power Control (Standard Miner License)
This option provides manual power control tools through the Foreman Dashboard. Included with a regular license, it is ideal for basic power management without needing advanced automation. - Cost Avoidance (Enterprise)
An enterprise-grade solution focused on reducing energy expenses by automating curtailments and optimizing power usage. - Demand Response (Enterprise)
A feature designed for customers participating in demand, this feature program offers automated tools to maximize savings and streamline operations - Power Control API (Enterprise)
The premium solution for customers seeking full programmatic control and customization. This requires either a Cost Avoidance or DR license (or both) to unlock its advanced capabilities.
The Foreman Power Control API allows businesses to automate miner operations, integrate with Demand Response programs, and implement custom algorithms. Advanced capabilities enable precise energy management, optimizing efficiency and control. Its scalable design supports everything from small operations to large fleets, adapting to evolving energy strategies.
