Fuzzy L.P. with Multi-criteria function is adopted in this VAR planning algorithm to accomplish the optimization of comflicting objectives, such as the amount of the VAR installed and power system loss, while keeping the bus voltage profile within an admissible range. Fuzzy L.P. with Multi-criteria function, a powerful tool dealing with the fuzziness of satisfaction levels of the constraints and the goal of objective functions, enables us to search for the solutions which may contribute in VAR planning. This advantage is not provided by traditional standardized L.P. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been verified by the test on the IEEE-30 bus system.
