## Network Power Consumption (P<sub>N</sub>)
|
|
|
|
A baseline value for network power consumption can be found by multiplying the total network hashrate with a "best case" value for the power/hashrate ratio that a miner can achieve.
|
|
|
|
> P<sub>N</sub> = H<sub>N</sub> x P<sub>M</sub> / H<sub>M</sub>
|
|
>
|
|
> P<sub>N</sub> = 232001 (GH/s) x 110.6 (W) x 1000 (MH/GH) / ( 31.2 (MH/s) x 10^6 (W/MW) )
|
|
>
|
|
> P<sub>N</sub> = 821 MW
|
|
|
|
As a side note, people often confuse power (W) and energy (power x time, eg. Wh). For instance, assuming an average daily P<sub>Nd</sub> of 821 MW we can calculate that days Energy consumption by multiplying by the number of hours in a day.
|
|
|
|
> E<sub>Nd</sub> = P<sub>Nd</sub> x T<sub>d</sub>
|
|
>
|
|
> E<sub>Nd</sub> = 821 (MW) x 24 (h/d) / 1000 (GW/MW)
|
|

|
|
> E<sub>Nd</sub> = 19.7 GWh
