Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to energy optimization. A computing platform may receive a cryptocurrency request indicating a gas price and KPIs of the cryptocurrency request. The computing platform may input the gas price and the KPIs into a mining optimization model, which may cause the mining optimization model to output an energy mix for use in processing the cryptocurrency request. The energy mix may indicate energy sources, capable of providing an amount of energy needed to process the cryptocurrency request and used to support operation of a data center configured to process cryptocurrency requests, and a cost of the amount of energy from the energy mix may be less than a cost of the amount of energy from other available energy sources. The computing platform may send commands directing the data center to process the cryptocurrency request using the energy mix, which may cause it to do so.
