Reactive power optimization of distribution networks is of great significance to improve power quality and reduce power loss. However, traditional methods for reactive power optimization of distribution networks either consume a lot of calculation time or have limited accuracy. In this paper, a novel data-driven-based approach is proposed to simultaneously improve the accuracy and reduce calculation time for reactive power optimization using ensemble learning. Specifically, k-fold cross-validation is used to train multiple sub-models, which are merged to obtain high-quality optimization results through the proposed ensemble framework. The simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms popular baselines, such as light gradient boosting machine, convolutional neural network, case-based reasoning, and multi-layer perceptron. Moreover, the calculation time is much lower than the traditional heuristic methods, such as the genetic algorithm.
