HYBRID-ENERGY APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD THEREFOR

A power circuitry has a first input circuit for coupling to a first energy source, a second input circuit for coupling to a second energy source, a third circuit coupled to the first and second input circuits for combining outputs of the first and second circuits and outputting electrical energy via a direct-current output thereof, and a control circuit coupled to the first, second, and third circuits for controlling the output of the third circuit by controlling parameters of the first, second, and third circuits based on output voltages of the first and second energy sources, outputs of the first and second input circuits coupling to the third circuits, and an output voltage of the third circuit.
