A power module includes a turbo-generator with a propellant selector valve, a stored energy module connected to the propellant selector valve, and bleed air conduit. The bleed air conduit is connected to the propellant selector valve, wherein the propellant selector valve has a first position, wherein the stored energy tank is in fluid communication with the turbo-generator, and a second position, wherein the bleed air conduit is in fluid communication with the turbo-generator. Vehicles and methods of generating electrical power are also described.
