  7. Abstract:
  8. In the initial part of this research, 10 selected dams out of 647 existing dams in Iran were selected using ArcGIS software, based on 3 indicators of height above sea level, temperature, horizontal solar radiation and wind speed, and the shadow model was calculated by calculating the radiation angle. The solar radiation on the reservoir water level of one of the selected dams, which is Durood Zan Dam, was checked on 4 days of the year. In the next stage, the design of the floating part of the power plant and its related components, in 3 parts including the main door, the door The pontoon and the main pontoon were done. Platform dimensions were optimized during the design process and to satisfy the requirements, including the required buoyancy, stability against environmental factors and loads, collapsible design for ease of transportation and reduction of storage space, and other requirements. . Hydrostatic analysis on the panel and pontoons show that a set including two pontoons and a 650 W panel along with their door, with a total weight of 79 kg, will have a 10.5 cm water inlet. Investigating the hydrostatic stability of this complex and its wetting angles in the initial state and the damaged state provide acceptable results. The maximum trim angle in different damaged states is 9 degrees and the list angle is 6 degrees. Also, the structural behavior analysis in The effect of the sudden increase in the buoyancy force caused by the impact of the wave in the static state was carried out using the Ansys Mechanical software using the finite element method, in 3 different loading scenarios, and the maximum relative deformation of the structure is 2.5 cm. Finally, the model designed in this The research was produced in the form of a prototype
