1. A power generating system comprising:

  • a) combustor means for receiving a reformed fuel stream and a first portion of a compressed air stream and producing a combustor exhaust stream;

    b) gas turbine means for receiving at an input a combination of the combustor exhaust stream and a second portion of the compressed air stream, which has bypassed the combustor, and producing shaft power and a turbine exhaust stream having thermal energy therefrom, the turbine exhaust stream being combined with a third portion of the compressed air stream upstream of a reforming means;

    c) steam generating means for receiving said combined turbine exhaust and compressed air stream and a water stream and producing a steam flow and a system exhaust stream therefrom; and

    d) said reforming means receiving a fuel stream, said steam flow, and a portion of said combined turbine exhaust and compressed air stream thermal energy, and producing said reformed fuel stream therefrom.
