The power generation system and method of the present invention employ a solid oxide fuel cell (110) which reforms fuel to a degree which is controlled by the amount of fuel introduced to the solid oxide fuel cell (110). A preheater device (105) in fluid communication with a fuel side and an air side of a solid oxide fuel cell (110), such that air can be heated prior to introducing it to the air side of the solid oxide fuel cell (110). An energy conversion device in communication with the effluent (21) from the fuel side of a solid oxide fuel cell. This hybrid system more efficiently produces energy, both mechanical and electrical, over conventional systems.
