This booth is supported by the Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky (PEIK) and the SPARK Lab at the University of Kentucky. The PEIK Institute attracts and educates the next generation of power and energy engineers. Established in 2010 with multi-million dollar support from the Department of Energy (DOE), PEIK successfully continues its activities with generous support from UK, industry, utilities, and private donors. PEIK has a revitalized nationally-acclaimed curriculum in power and energy with hundreds of annual course enrollments and issues undergraduate and graduate certificates. Research on power and energy topics, including sustainable and efficient power systems and electronics, energy storage, smart grids and buildings, and others, as well as wide outreach and collaboration with the regional and professional community, are an integral part of PEIK's mission.
