Through his work, he solved complex problems engineers were facing with power networks, from small, rural electric cooperatives to ones that serve large metropolitan areas including New York City’s Consolidated Edison Co. program in electrical engineering in 1969, and it quickly became one of the nation’s largest and top-rated graduate programs in power systems engineering.Ĭhen’s research included the modeling of electrical loads, the effect of voltage control in energy savings, real-time testing to improve power system efficiency, computer representation of cogeneration systems, reducing efficiency losses in transmission lines, and voltage stability. He founded the university’s Energy Systems Research Center in 1968 and served as its director until he retired in 2003.Ĭhen created UTA’s first Ph.D. The IEEE Fellow was a professor at the University of Texas at Arlington for more than 40 years.

Mo-Shing Chen, a world-renowned power engineering educator and researcher, died on 1 May at the age of 91.
