Claim:
1. A zero-emission closed-loop hybrid solar-syngas power cycle system, comprising: a solar reformer that converts methane to a syngas comprising CO and H a first oxygen transport reactor comprising a first ion transport membrane separating a first feed side and a first permeate side, the first feed side having a first feed inlet and a first feed outlet and the first permeate side having a first permeate inlet and a first permeate outlet, wherein H a second oxygen transport reactor comprising a second ion transport membrane separating a second feed side and a second permeate side, the second feed side having a second feed inlet and a second feed outlet and the second permeate side having a second permeate inlet and a second permeate outlet, wherein CO a first condenser having a condenser inlet connected to the first feed outlet to separate the first gas mixture of H a CO separator having a separator inlet connected to the second feed outlet to separate the second gas mixture of CO wherein the H wherein the first oxygen transport reactor and the second oxygen transport reactor combust the syngas from the solar reformer, a syngas formed of H a gas turbine connected to the first permeate outlet and the second permeate outlet to produce power from the first combustion gas mixture, wherein the gas turbine has a turbine outlet connected to a second condenser that separates the first combustion gas mixture into H
