An example method of managing power in a hybrid propulsion system includes receiving, by one or more processors, a power demand that specifies an amount of power to be used to propel a vehicle that includes an electrical energy storage system (ESS) and one or more electrical generators, wherein the one or more electrical generators are configured to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy; determining, based on the power demand and a predetermined ESS output limit, a first amount of power to be sourced from the ESS and a second amount of power to be sourced from the one or more generators; and causing, by the one or more processors, the ESS to output the first amount of power onto a direct current (DC) electrical distribution bus and the one or more generators to output the second amount of power onto the DC electrical distribution bus.
