A system for combining outputs of multiple, disparate types of power sources (110a, 110b, 110c... 110n), the system comprising: first and second isolated converter modules, each of the first and second isolated converter modules having: a power input couplable to a power source; a source recognition circuit configured to receive a signal indicating a variation in at least one characteristic of a power signal received from the power source coupled to the isolated converter module via the power input, the power signal comprising electric power transferrable to the isolated converter module from the power source connected thereto; and a DC-output converter configured to convert power received from the power sources to DC power; and a DC bus coupled to power outputs of the first and second isolated converter modules and configured to receive and aggregate the DC power, the aggregated DC power being sufficient to power an electrical load connected to the DC bus; characterized in that the source recognition circuit of the first isolated converter module is configured to identify, based on the signal indicating the variation in the characteristic, the type of the power source connected thereto as being a renewable power source and the source recognition circuit of the second isolated converter module is configured to identify, based on the signal indicating the variation in the characteristic, the type of power source connected thereto as being a fossil fuel power source; each of the first and second isolated converter modules is configured to select values of operating parameters of power being output by the isolated converter modules to the DC bus, the selected values of the output power operating parameters generating output power that, when aggregated by the DC bus, is sufficient to power the electrical load, and to convert the power received from the power sources connected to the isolated converter modules to the selected values of the output power operating parameters; and the first and second isolated converter modules are configured to, in response to determining based on the identified type of power source, that a first priority associated with the renewable power source is greater than a second priority associated with the fossil fuel power source, power the electrical load using the selected values of output power operating parameters and according to the determined first and second priorities. first and second isolated converter modules, each of the first and second isolated converter modules having: a power input couplable to a power source;
