Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for fuel reforming to enhance the operability of a combustion system. SOLUTION: The method for forming fuel to be supplied to one or more combustors (14) in a gas turbine engine system (10) includes a process for reforming a fraction of the fuel in one or more fuel circuits (100, 200, 300) of the gas turbine engine system with plasma reformer systems (32, 102, 210, 310) to form at least one of hydrogen and higher order hydrocarbons to be supplied to one or more combustors with the remaining fraction of the fuel, and a process for controlling at least one of the output and fuel flow to the plasma reformer system with an active feedback control system (18, 108).
