The embodiment of the invention provides a hybrid power system and a coupling operation method thereof. The system comprises a fuel cell system, an internal combustion engine system, and a hybrid transmission, wherein the fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell stack, a storage battery, an inverter, a motor, a converter and a hydrogen tank, the internal combustion engine system comprises an internal combustion engine, a storage battery, a hydrogen tank, an oil tank and a clutch, the first input end of the hybrid transmission is connected with the motor, and the second input end of the hybrid transmission is connected with the torque output end of the internal combustion engine through the clutch. According to the hybrid power system and the coupling operation method thereof provided by theembodiment of the invention, when the hybrid power system works normally, the fuel cell system serves as a first power source, the internal combustion engine carries out power assistance according tothe working condition demand, and efficient and clean combustion of the internal combustion engine can be achieved by controlling the operation modes of the internal combustion engine under differentworking conditions. The fuel cell system can meet stricter emission and fuel consumption regulations, meanwhile the manufacturing cost of the fuel cell system is reduced by introducing the internal combustion engine system with low cost and reliable operation, and the hybrid power system has a good application prospect.
