<![CDATA[The demand for electrical energy is increasing due to high economic growth and population. The impact is that electrical energy operates excessively to meet the required demand. Unbalanced loads, higher power losses on the line, and voltage drops that are higher than allowed are just a few of the issues that may result from this. Adding tap changers and capacitor banks is one method of improving the voltage profile and power losses. To conduct this study, tap changers and capacitor banks were added to the IEEE 33 bus network system. The value, capacity, and location of the tap changers and capacitor banks in the system were ascertained using the genetic algorithm (GA) approach. According to the simulation results, the voltage profile, which initially had 21 buses outside the IEEE standard limits, may be ideal by installing two tap changers and two capacitor banks. Additionally, reactive power losses decreased from 41.8 kVar to 93.3 kVar, and active power losses decreased from 202.7 kW to 130.7 kW, a decrease of 72 kW.]]>
