Popis: This paper presents a methodology for a small-signal stability analysis of large-scale power systems in response to variability of offshore wind power plants. This study considers the variability of wind power as the source of disturbance introduced to the system. To accomplish this goal, a singular value decomposition-total least squares extended Prony analysis is used to assess the small-signal voltage stability. In addition, a swing-based frequency response metric is used to assess the small-signal frequency stability. The case study here considers the integration of a 1000-MW offshore wind power plant, operating in Lake Erie, into the FirstEnergy/PJM service territory. This study uses a realistic model of the 63 000-bus test system that represents the U.S. Eastern Interconnection. The results verify the utility and practicality of this methodology for the integration studies of offshore wind power plants.
