1. A hybrid power system, comprising:
- a variable DC power source;
a second power source;
first and second selection components connected respectively to the outputs of the variable DC power source and second power source and having their outputs connected to a common node;
Wherein, the first and second selection components select either or both power sources to apply power to the common node depending on the magnitude of the voltage from each source.

Abstract
A hybrid power system has two voltage sources, a variable DC power source, and a second power source, connected through selection components to a common node. The variable DC power source may be a solar power source and the second source may be an AC grid. The selection components, e.g. blocking diodes, SCRs, or relays, allow one or both of the sources to be connected to the node depending on the voltages produced by the sources. A variable speed drive and load may be connected to the node.
