TEK-Energy Systems, Inc. is a privately held company that develops and manufactures electric power grid interface products for use by the alternative energy and utility sectors.
History
TEK-Energy Systems, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was founded in 2019. The cofounders of the company are David B. Eisenhaure[1][2] who serves as Executive Chairman and CEO, and Dr. James L. Kirtley[3][4] who serves as the company’s Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Eisenhaure is the founder and former CEO of Satcon Technology Corporation while Dr. Kirtley is Professor of Electrical Engineering at MIT. The cofounders have jointly produced over one hundred publications and patents in the areas of electrical machines, electric power systems, power electronics, advanced electric drives, magnetic flywheels, smart grid, and inverters for alternative energy applications.[5][6][7]
Products
TEK-Energy Systems’ product solution provides a grid interface that stabilizes frequency and voltage for periods ranging from short (seconds) to long (up to 4 hours), thus shielding the utility from power fluctuations, controlling phase, and protecting the power electronics from overload conditions.[8][9][10] This proprietary interface provides a solution for stabilizing the electric power grid under the influence of large fractions of distributed, mostly renewable, sources of generation. The TEK-Energy System interface provides an opportunity for the power grid to take advantage of the introduction of large amounts of renewable generation that, if not handled properly, will make the electric power system either less economical than it could be or less stable, and therefore less reliable than it should be.
