This document provides an overview of 5 course units related to power system operation and control:
1. Real power-frequency control including load-frequency control of single-area and two-area systems.
2. Reactive power-voltage control including generator voltage control and transformer tap changing for voltage regulation.
3. Unit commitment and economic dispatch including methods for scheduling generation units.
4. Computer control of power systems including functions of energy management systems and state estimation for security analysis and control.
5. Introduction to concepts like load curves, load forecasting, and the role of computers in power system implementation and operation.
