A mobile generation resource (MGR) comprises a PEM fuel cell stack, hydrogen inputs and a hydrogen bus. A first hydrogen input receives hydrogen at 200 bars pressure which is stored in an onboard hydrogen tank. A second hydrogen input receives hydrogen at a pressure of 100 bars or less. The hydrogen bus, controlled by an MGR computing system, selects either the onboard hydrogen tank or the second hydrogen input as a hydrogen source for the fuel cell stack. A power take-off connection, cable and adapter provide DC electricity produced by the fuel cell stack at a power of at least 50 kilowatts. The MGR computing system communicates with the hydrogen bus and the power take-off connection, cable and adapter. A MGR user app instructs the MGR computing system to select the active source of hydrogen and to direct power produced by the fuel cell stack to the power take-off.
