Abstract:
A power generation system is provided. The power generation system includes a reformer system for producing syngas for an internal combustion engine. The reformer system includes a reforming unit having a catalyst for thermochemical conversion of a first portion of a hydrocarbon fuel to the syngas. The power generation system also includes a waste heat recovery system including at least one organic Rankine cycle flow path of working fluid, at least one waste heat recovery exchanger, for extracting waste heat from the reformer system, and at least one evaporator for using the extracted waste heat for heating the working fluid.
