Electric Fracking Power Supply System Patent Issued

Strategic Insights -

A pioneering patent has been granted to Electronic Power Design Inc. (Houston, Texas) for its innovative electric fracking power supply system. The system, developed by John Bradford Janik, aims to revolutionize the oil and gas industry by providing an efficient and portable power solution for fracking operations. The patent, titled "Mobile Electric Fracking Trailer Power Supply System," was filed on March 16, 2022, and published online on October 14, 2025.

Key Takeaways:

  • The electric fracking power supply system is designed to be two-thirds smaller and lighter than a standard high-efficiency transformer trailer, making it more maneuverable in oil fields.
  • The system features a 70 percent efficiency efracking six mega volt ampere (MVA) transformer, which is one-third the size and weight of a 95 percent efficiency electrical 6 MVA transformer.
  • The system includes a cooling fan that forces chilled air into the efracking transformer core, improving efficiency and reducing heat.
  • The system can be attached to an efracking trailer, which is connected to a power utility grid and an electrical fracking equipment.
  • The system also features a processor that executes a linear computer program to adjust the output of the cooling fans and transformers based on the load attached to the system.
  • The system has multiple modes of operation, including a linear program, an expert system, and a neural network.
  • The system includes instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium to control the efracking power supply system.
  • The system can determine the current system load, operating state, and temperature of the efracking transformers and cooling fans.

Statistics:

  • The patented electric fracking power supply system is designed to be 70 percent more efficient than traditional high-efficiency transformer trailers.
  • The system can reduce the size and weight of the efracking trailer from approximately 5,000 pounds to 1,700 pounds.
  • The system features a 70 percent efficiency efracking six MVA transformer, which is one-third the size and weight of a 95 percent efficiency electrical 6 MVA transformer.
  • The system can provide up to 45 degrees centigrade heat to the efracking core using the cooling fan.
  • The system includes a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions to control the efracking power supply system.
