ECONOMIC MODEL & OPERATIONS

Measure value. Verify results.

Evaluate each project using measured energy, resource availability and service performance. Compare a documented baseline with observed results under the same operating boundary. No fixed returns or financialized compute assets are implied.

ENGINEERING / INTERACTIVE MODEL

24-hour compute-power model

Scheduled energy supply / kWh

Grid: 1,788 kWh
On-site solar: 762 kWh
Total site energy: 2,550 kWh

Solar consumed + grid imports = site demand. Surplus solar earns no revenue in this model.

Assumptions, limitations and hourly data

Synthetic day, 1-hour steps. Fixed load: 95 kW at 08–17, 105 kW at 18–21, otherwise 70 kW. Original compute: 20 kW × 24 h. Movable work is ready at 00:00 and due by 24:00. Site limit: 160 kW. Assign 1 kWh increments by marginal grid cost. Illustrative tariffs: 0.4 at 00–06 and 23, 1.1 at 17–21, otherwise 0.7 CNY/kWh, not a regional tariff. Excludes migration overhead, demand charges, storage, depreciation, taxes, export revenue and emissions. Peak reduction is not the objective; grid peak may increase. Solar follows a synthetic sine curve.

SYSTEM PATH

A clear path from inputs to evidence.

01 / Energy value

Use load forecasts, demand management and equipment analysis to identify efficiency opportunities. Recommendations depend on local tariffs, equipment constraints and authorized operating windows.

Peak and off-peak demand

Demand management

Storage availability

Energy and carbon records

02 / Compute value

Place eligible inference, caching, retrieval and lightweight tasks near their data sources. Evaluate network transfer, latency and resource use before deciding which workloads to move.

Local task share

Node utilization

Network latency

Energy per task

03 / Operating value

Track device health, available capacity, response records, maintenance and service levels. Use the evidence for capacity planning and project-level cost allocation.

Equipment availability

Dispatchable capacity

Maintenance closure

Project cost accounting

COORDINATION ARCHITECTURE

Clear responsibilities. Coordinated operation.

Metering and site state

Energy and compute metrics

Project cost model

Service evaluation

Customer reports and audits

Agree on equipment, interfaces, retention periods, approvals and operating metrics at project initiation. Performance is verified through site measurements and acceptance testing.
