Electricity parameters
Site electricity parameters allow Pulse to calculate net profitability accounting for actual electricity costs. Without this data, the Income widget shows only gross income without deducting expenses.
Parameters
Electricity rate
The cost of one kWh of electricity at your site. Specified in the selected currency.
Example: if you pay 0.07 USD per kWh — enter 0.07 and select the USD currency.
Currency
The currency in which the rate is specified and income is displayed. Major world currencies are supported: USD, EUR, RUB, CNY, and others.
Capacity
The maximum installed capacity of the site in MW. Used to calculate utilization in the Power widget on the dashboard.
Example: if your site is rated for 5 MW and currently consumes 3.2 MW — the Power widget will show "3.2 MW / 5 MW" with a visual utilization indicator.
How parameters are used in calculations
Income calculation
Net income = Gross mining income − Electricity costs
Costs = Total consumption (kW) × Period duration (h) × Rate ($/kWh)
The result is displayed in the Income widget on the dashboard:
- The main value is the net income for the selected period
- The "Electricity: ~N $" line shows approximate electricity costs
- A tooltip explains the calculation formula
The calculation is approximate — it is based on consumption data that Pulse receives from devices. Your actual electricity bill may differ.
Where to configure
Electricity parameters are set in the site settings:
- Go to Sites
- Click ⋯ next to the site → Edit
- Update the Electricity rate, Currency, and Capacity fields
- Click Save
Changes take effect immediately and are reflected on the dashboard at the next data refresh.
Creation and configuration
A Site is the top level of the hierarchy in HashCore Pulse. It represents a physical or logical object: a mining farm, data center, a separate building, or a dedicated equipment segment. All agents, devices, and metrics are tied to a specific site.
Operation packets
Operation packets (Operation Throttling) is a mechanism that controls the rate of sending batch commands to devices. Instead of sending a command to all devices at once, Pulse splits the operation into packets and inserts a pause between them.
