Impedance-based stability analysis (IBSA) is an effective method to identify subsynchronous interaction (SSI) problem between the inverter-based resources (IBRs) and series compensated or weakly tied AC grids. The electromagnetic transient (EMT) level positive sequence and dq-frame frequency scanning methods (p-scan and dq-scan, respectively) are used to obtain the sequence single-input single-output (SISO) and dq multi-input multi-output (MIMO) impedance of IBRs, respectively. The dq MIMO impedance usage in IBSA provides more accurate results compared to the sequence SISO impedance. This paper proposes an EMT-level alpha beta-frame frequency scanning method (alpha beta-scan) to obtain the alpha beta MIMO impedance and its usage in IBSA. The alpha beta-scan requires significantly less time compared to dq-scan for the convergence of MIMO IBR impedance representation and offers similar accuracy with dq-scan in IBSA. The accuracy of the proposed alpha beta MIMO IBSA is validated by comparing with dq MIMO IBSA and EMT simulations on series capacitor SSI cases with different type IBRs (Doublyfed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind park (WP) and full-scale converter (FSC)-based WP). This paper also uses a multivariable structure function(MSF)-based method for the first time in IBSA of SSI to achieve Bode plot-based analysis for providing better visualized presentation of resonance frequency and stability margins compared to generalized Nyquist criterion.
