William H. Kersting received his BSEE from New Mexico State University (NMSU), Las Cruces, NM and his MSEE from the Illinois Institute of Technology. Prior to attending graduate school, and for a year after graduate school, he was employed by El Paso Electric Company as a distribution engineer. He joined the faculty at New Mexico State University in 1962 and served as professor of electrical engineering and from 1968 the director of the Electric Utility Management Program until his retirement in 2002. He is currently a consultant for Milsoft Utility Solutions.
Professor Kersting is a life fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He received the NMSU Westhafer award for Excellence in Teaching in 1977 and the Edison Electric Institutes’ Power Engineering Education award in 1979. Professor Kersting has been an active member of the IEEE Power Engineering Education Committee and the Distribution Systems Analysis Subcommittee.
"Kersting’s textbook is the best choice in the market that provides
comprehensive details of modeling for distribution network analysis
that suits very well for the unbalanced and radial network
topology."
