This paper proposes a novel cooperative framework to develop the efficient voltage management system with social acceptance in the distribution network with photovoltaic generations (PV). In the developed framework, the voltage management problem using demand resources of consumers is formulated as the linear programming problem based on the cooperative game theory. The proposed method can efficiently compute an imputation in the non-empty core, i.e., a solution concept of the cooperative game, to realize the reliable voltage management system. Unlike previous related works, this paper explicitly addresses incentives of the consumers to the cooperative voltage management system. Moreover, although the computation of the core requires generally a huge computational time, this paper can efficiently allocate the payoff in the core by employing the linear production game (Owen, 1975). The proposed method is validated by computational experiments using a large scale distribution network model with PVs.
