1. A hydrogen-generating plant comprising:
a plurality of non-isolated, bi-directional alternate current (AC) to direct current (DC) converters each comprising an input in electrical communication with a power source and an output, each of the plurality of AC-DC converters converting an AC power signal from the power source to a DC power signal;
a first plurality of isolated, uni-directional DC-DC converters each comprising an input in electrical connection to an output of a first one of the plurality of AC-DC converters and an output in electrical communication with a hydrogen-generating device; and
a second plurality of isolated, uni-directional DC-DC converters each comprising an input in electrical connection to an output of a second one of the plurality of AC-DC converters and an output in electrical communication with the hydrogen-generating device;
wherein the second plurality of DC-DC converters are distinct from the first plurality of DC-DC converters to electrically isolate the first AC-DC converter from the second AC-DC converter.
