TL;DR: The proposed mathematical approach contemplates the efficient operation of a dc microgrid over a period of time with variable energy purchase prices, which makes it a practical methodology to apply in real-time operating conditions.

TL;DR: The resulting method is a master-slave hybrid approach based on both the parallel PBIL (PPBIL) algorithm and the PSO, which reduces the computation time in comparison with other techniques commonly used to address this problem.

TL;DR: The proposed approach provides an explicit solution of the power flow equations system, which avoids the use of iterative methods, and enables to provide accurate results with very short processing times when real operating scenarios of dc power grids are analyzed.

TL;DR: Two new iterative approaches for solving the power flow problem in direct current networks as efficient alternatives to the classical Gauss–Seidel and Newton–Raphson methods are proposed.

TL;DR: The results show that the proposed EMS provides the best trade-off between quality solution and speed, also including the power balance, devices capabilities and voltage regulation.
