Systems and methods are provided for distributing DC power in an aircraft. In one example, a method is provided that includes generating a plurality of DC voltages from a plurality of independent sources driven by one or more turbines of the aircraft, providing each of the plurality of DC voltages to respective dedicated DC buses, and setting a plurality of switches that selectively couples a first set of dedicated DC buses to a synchronization bus to allow for bus sharing between the first set of dedicated DC buses and bus isolation of a second set of dedicated DC buses.
