Power loss minimization and voltage stability improvement is one of the major issues of modern power system operation and planning. This article presents an efficient genetic algorithm (GA) approach to solve these problems with fuzzy representation of objective functions. In the proposed approach, the fuzzy goal programming (FGP) and GA are applied in two stages for formulation and solving the problem for optimal setting of VAR control variables. The proposed approach is tested on the standard IEEE 6-Generator 30-Bus System with the objectives and compared with the solutions obtained in previous study.
