In this paper, a distributed optimal power flow (OPF) for the AC/DC hybrid grid, composed of the AC grid, renewable energy system (RES), and voltage source converter (VSC)-based multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grid, is presented. Firstly, we apply a series of linear approximations/convex relaxations to construct a mixed-integer convex AC/DC OPF model. To address the uncertainties from RESs, we then illustrate scenario-oriented decision making for the constructed AC/DC OPF model. Additionally, we verify that considering all possible scenarios can be replaced by a small set of extreme scenarios if the OPF model is (mixed-integer) convex. Furthermore, we develop a scenario-oriented multi-cut generalized Benders decomposition to achieve more efficient distributed problem solving for the constructed AC/DC OPF model. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of our constructed AC/DC OPF model and our developed distributed problem-solving approach.
