The proposed system is simulated using the Open Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS). The AutoAdd Optimization (AAO) technique was adapted to determine the optimal placement and size of the distributed generators. The findings indicated that the integration of WTE generation with solar PV plants result in power generation that is adaptable to variations in solar irradiation and fluctuations in demand, meeting roughly 50 % of the power demand in the Al-Gharab network throughout the day. This led to a 50 % decrease in the amount of electricity sourced from the national grid. Additionally, the outcomes of the simulation demonstrated that the suggested hybrid system improves network efficiency by reducing total active power losses, total reactive power losses, and voltage deviation index by 77 %, 42 %, and 87 %, respectively.

Polymer-based membranes offer a promising solution due to their potential for high selectivity and energy efficiency. However, achieving optimal gas separation performance often requires overcoming the limitations of individual polymers through modifications such as polymer blending. In this study, PSf/P84 blended membranes with low P84 content were fabricated using the phase separation technique with a mixture of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and tetrahydrofuran as solvents. The effect of varying the mass ratio of PSf to P84 on membrane characteristics and gas separation performance was investigated. Characterization techniques included FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, Water Contact Angle (WCA) measurement, and mechanical property testing. Gas permeation tests were conducted with single gases at room temperature and 1 bar pressure. The results revealed that the addition of P84 increased membrane thickness, Young's modulus, and thermal stability, while decreasing d-spacing, dense layer thickness, hydrophilicity, tensile strength, and elongation. The F<sub>index</sub> values, indicating the competence of the blended membranes compared to the ideal quality, demonstrated the positive impact of P84 addition on gas separation performance compared to pure PSf membranes. The optimal gas separation selectivity was achieved with the PSf/P84 1:0.025 blended membrane for H<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> (11.28, 58 % increase), H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> (6.25, 193 % increase), and H<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> (5.25, 35 % increase).
