With the increasing penetration rate of wind power in the power system, its impact on the small signal stability of the system is becoming increasingly significant. The volatility and uncertainty brought by the integration of wind power into the grid pose new challenges to the stability analysis and control of the power system. In order to accurately predict and correct the small signal stability of wind power systems, this paper proposes a small signal stability prediction and correction method for wind power systems based on the LightGBM (Light Gradient Boosting Machine) algorithm model. The LightGBM algorithm has efficient speed and low memory consumption, while being able to process large-scale data and support automatic processing of missing values, accurately extracting power grid features. To verify the reliability of the proposed method, three different signal-to-noise ratios of noise were considered to validate the performance and robustness of the model. The simulation examples used a 3-machine 9-node system and a 10 machine 39 node system to replace a certain generator in the system with an aggregated wind power plant for simulation testing. By applying an algorithm model to predict the small signal stability of electricity and correct the unstable operating state of the power system, the feasibility of the proposed method was demonstrated.
