A power supply for a marine water electrolysis system has a control module and at least one power module in communication with the control module. The power module has a first rectifier sub-module and a second rectifier sub-module, where each of the rectifier sub-modules has a current output to an electrolyzer. The power supply has a microcontroller which provides instructions to the at least one power module to provide a specified DC voltage and DC current to the electrolyzer. The sub-modules may be identical, with each sub-module capable of independent operation (at different voltage and current levels). Any number of power modules can be connected in series or in parallel to match the DC voltage and DC current requirements of the electrolyzer. The sub-modules may be stacked in a tower configuration within a rack. Any one or more power modules may be removed from the rack independent of the remaining power modules within the rack without interrupting operation of the electrolyzer.
