John Jackman, Nomination for Energy Innovator of the Year
For a number of years Mr. John Jackman, of Power Control Company, LLC, has provided consulting services for the State of Utah, in particular for the Department of Facilities and Construction Management. Two projects of importance were the Draper National Guard Headquarters, and the West Jordan AASF which services Apache and Black Hawk helicopters.
Both facilities suffered from serious harmonic distortions, phase imbalances, and power factor. In addition, the West Jordan facility was a complex tangle of conflicting 60 cycle and 400 cycle circuits that stymied staff and engineers for years. Mr. Jackman was able to both analyze the problems and provide the equipment to solve these problems entirely.
I believe that there are many other facilities in this State that would benefit from being audited, problems defined and corrected. There would be considerable saving for the State in so doing and Utah would lead the nation, if not the world in providing solutions to problems long thought uncorrectable.
