The studies of the performance of feeder distance protection with multiple installations of the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are presented. Detailed representation of delta‐connected multi‐level modular converter (MMC) STATCOM is modelled and its impact on feeder distance protection is analytically studied. A real‐time digital simulation (RTDS) based hardware‐in‐the‐loop testing platform is established using practical distance relays, multiple detailed MMC STATCOM models and realistic transmission data. Different types of internal/external faults at varying locations are simulated to investigate the STATCOM's impact on feeder distance protection.
