Zusammenfassung:	A fuel supply system (32) for use with a power generating system (5) is provided. The fuel supply system includes a fuel heater (36) coupled in flow communication with a fuel source, the fuel heater for heating fuel supplied from the fuel source, a first heating assembly (34) coupled in flow communication with the fuel heater for heating a first flow of water (42) channeled to the fuel heater, a heat recovery steam generator (16) assembly coupled in flow communication with the fuel heater for channeling a second flow of heated water (44) to the fuel heater, and a valve assembly (38) coupled between the first heating assembly, the heat recovery steam generator assembly, and the fuel heater to enable a flow of heated water from the first heating assembly and the heat recovery steam generator assembly to be selectively channeled to the fuel heater.
