Summary:The safe operation of a Hydro-Power Plant (HPP) depends on ensuring the necessary power supply to all electric-driven equipment and to other internal consumers. The auxiliary power supply must be qualitative, reliable, sustainable and cheap. The present development of technology offers new possibilities for the improvement of substations. Smart substations are developed by endowing the classical substations with new capabilities. Thus, a better performance and a higher security of the auxiliaries is enabled, besides giving a valuable input for smart grids. The paper describes the principles used in the design of the physical technical structure for the auxiliary power supplies scheme, which is the basis for the development of a smart substation. The study-case is the HPP Lotru-Ciunget (Romania), equipped with 3 units of 170 MW each.
