This paper presents a hierarchical multi-stage scheduling scheme for the AC/DC hybrid active distribution network (ADN). The load regulation center (LRC) is considered in the developed scheduling strategy, as well as the AC and DC sub-network operators. They are taken to be different stakeholders. To coordinate the interests of all stakeholders, a two-level optimization model is established. The flexible loads are dispatched by LRC in the upper-level optimization model, the objective of which is minimizing the loss of the entire distribution network. The lower-level optimization is divided into two sub-optimal models, and they are carried out to minimize the operating costs of the AC/DC sub-network operators respectively. This two-level model avoids the difficulty of solving multi-objective optimization and can clarify the role of various stakeholders in the system scheduling. To solve the model effectively, a discrete wind-driven optimization (DWDO) algorithm is proposed. Then, considering the combination of the proposed DWDO algorithm and the YALMIP toolbox, a hierarchical optimization algorithm (HOA) is developed. The HOA can obtain the overall optimization result of the system through the iterative optimization of the upper and lower levels. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheduling scheme.
