Can anyone recommend a 'friendly' overview of the 'calculus approach'?

The paper linked in the article from 2003/2008 has been split up into 3 rather technical articles - I was hoping for something easier that just gave me a flavour of the method.

Isn't the Quanta article supposed to be the 'friendly' overview?

It's lacking. Their explanation for the greedy algo is great, less so for every other. By the end of the article, their 'explanations' degrade to speed analogies.

If I have the names right, your parent is looking for the derivation of "Optimal Power Flow", and its linearization "Linear/DC OPF".
