This paper proposes a two-stage energy management scheme (EMS) for AC–DC hybrid smart distribution systems (DSs). The proposed EMS is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem to minimize the DS operation costs and energy losses. The proposed EMS is achieved in two stages. In the first stage, a network reconfiguration algorithm determines the optimal day-ahead reconfiguration schedule for a hybrid DS. In the second stage, a real-time optimal power flow algorithm determines the real-time operational schedule of the energy resources. This paper also introduces a new linearized power flow model for AC–DC hybrid DSs. This new model facilitates the formulation of the first-stage algorithm as a mixed-integer linear programming problem and the formulation of the second-stage algorithm as a linear programming problem. The proposed two-stage EMS was tested on a case study of a hybrid DS that included different types of loads and distributed generators. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed EMS: the optimal day-ahead reconfiguration schedule was successfully obtained in the first stage, and the proper and optimal real-time operation was achieved in the second stage.
