This paper proposes an on-line voltage management and control solution for a distribution system which can improve the efficiency and accuracy of existing off-line work by collecting customer voltage on-line as well as the voltage compensation capability of the existing ULTC (Under Load Tap Changer) operation and control strategy by controlling the ULTC tap based on pattern clustering and recognition. The proposed solution consists of an ADVMD (Advanced Digital Voltage Management Device), a VMS (Voltage Management Solution) and an OLDUC (On-Line Digital ULTC Controller). An on-line voltage management emulator based on multi-thread programming and the shared memory method is developed to emulate on-line voltage management and digital ULTC control methodology based on the on-line collection of the customer's voltage. In addition, using this emulator, the effectiveness of the proposed pattern clustering and recognition based ULTC control strategy is proven for the worst voltage environments for three days.

기존의 고정 부하 중심점 방식의 ULTC 운전제어전략은 계절별 부하 변화에 따른 전압보상을 효율적으로 실현하기 어렵다. 따라서 가변 부하 중심점 방식의 ULTC 운전제어전략들이 제안되는데, ANN이나 Fuzzy 멤버쉽 함수를 설계하는 문제는 고도의 전문적 설계경험과 상당한 시간을 요구한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적용이 쉬운 최소거리 판별기법을 적용, 부하변화에 따라 ULTC의 운전 부하 중심점을 이동시켜, 전압보상 범위를 개선시킬 수 있는 디지털 ULTC 운전 제어전략을 제안한다.
