Wang Geng, male, Han nationality, is a native of Xiuning, Anhui Province. He was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and graduated from the Electric Motor Engineering Department of Shanghai Communications University in 1949. Wang is an electric motor design expert.
After graduating from university, Wang began his career as a senior engineer with the Shanghai Steamer Generator Corporation and served as a part-time professor with the university. Starting in the late 1950s, he organized and worked on the design scheme of the world's first 12MW turbo-generator with an inner water-colored stator, rotor, and other key parts. Wang later directed the production and design improvement of 50MW, 125MW, and 300MW turbo-generators.
In the 1980s, he traveled to the United States to help develop a 300MW water-hydrogen cooled turbo-generator with Westinghouse Corporation. Wang teamed with the vice chief engineer of Harbin Electric Motor Factory to lead two design teams to Westinghouse for the optimized design of 600MW water-hydrogen cooled turbo-generator. In 2000, he partnered with Ding Shunnian, an academician, to design a 1000MW large-scale turbo-generator.
He was elected as an academician to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991.
