Best Practices: Using Adaptive Dispatches

Adaptive Dispatches: Smarter Power Management for Your Mining Operation

Managing a cryptocurrency mining site means managing power ... and power is rarely predictable. Whether you're running on wind, solar, flared gas, or a combination of sources, the gap between available generation and your miners' demand can change in an instant. Adaptive Dispatches is Foreman's automated dispatch system built to close that gap.

Adaptive Dispatches continuously monitors your available power and automatically adjusts your mining fleet's load in response, without requiring manual intervention every time generation shifts. The result is more uptime, better hardware protection, and a more profitable operation.

 

What It Does

Adaptive Dispatches gives operators the tools to automate how their fleet responds to changing conditions:

  • Buffered Dispatches keep your power draw within a safe range below available generation, preventing tripped breakers and sudden shutdowns as output fluctuates.
  • Automated Scheduling lets you set up recurring curtailment events — power up, power down — on a defined schedule, so you don't have to rebuild your dispatch calendar every week.
  • Infrastructure-Initiated Dispatches connect directly to Modbus-enabled devices like gas pressure sensors and flow meters, triggering automatic curtailment when real-world conditions cross a threshold.
  • Price Response & Demand Response (for grid-connected sites) automatically sell power when prices are high and draw from the grid when on-site generation falls short.

 

Who It's For

Adaptive Dispatches is designed for behind-the-meter mine operators running on variable power sources — renewable energy, flared gas, or anything else that fluctuates. It's also built for grid-connected operators who want to monetize their flexible load through price response and demand response programs.

If your site is remote, unstaffed, or subject to curtailment agreements, Adaptive Dispatches provides the automation layer to keep things running safely and profitably around the clock.

 

Why It Matters

Unmanaged power fluctuations don't just interrupt mining — they damage equipment. Every uncontrolled shutdown puts wear on your ASICs and PSUs. Adaptive Dispatches protects your hardware by ensuring the fleet always adjusts in a controlled, prioritized way, curtailing the least profitable machines first and keeping your best miners online as long as power supports it.
