Turbin gorlov merupakan salah satu teknologi turbin hidrokinetik yang berbeda dengan turbin air konvensional. Turbin gorlov dapat dipasang secara vertikal maupun horizontal dan mampu digunakan pada kondisi low-head, namun memiliki luas bidang tangkap yang bergantung dari dimensi lengkung bilah heliks. Hidrokinetik turbin gorlov digunakan sebagai pembangkit listrik tenaga hidro dengan memanfaatkan energi kinetik dari aliran air sungai maupun pasang surut. Turbin DNA merupakan jenis turbin baru hasil pengembangan desain turbin gorlov dengan cara menambahkan komponen pair yang bertujuan menambah luas bidang tangkap ()A. Studi ini dilakukan dengan membandingkan performa yang dihasilkan turbin gorlov dan turbin DNA. Pengujian dilakukan pada saluran prismatik dengan variasi kecepatan aliran 0,188 – 0,222 m/s. Pengaruh penambahan luas bidang tangkap ()A. f dengan melakukan penambahan komponen pair menyebabkan penurunan performa CPf dan pada desain turbin DNA. Turbin gorlov menghasilkan tip-speed ratio () 2,11 – 2,24, dan coefficient of power ()C 0,26 – 0,30. Turbin DNA menghasilkan tip-speed ratio () dengan range 0,91 – 1,07 dan coefficient of power ()C 0,19 – 0,24. Rotasi per menit (RPM) yang dihasilkan dari turbin gorlov dan turbin DNA masing-masing adalah 31,1 – 38,1 dan 13,0 – 17,6. Torsi () turbin gorlov dan turbin DNA masing-masing adalah 0,025 – 0,038 Nm dan 0,054 – 0,085 Nm. Pengaruh penambahan luas bidang tangkap dengan penambahan komponen pair menyebabkan rotasi per menit (RPM) turbin DNA mengalami penurunan, akan tetapi memiliki keunggulan dalam nilai torsi () yang dihasilkan. Hal ini terlihat dari kecenderungan grafik torsi () terhadap penambahan kecepatan aliran pada sudut rotasi 0 90, 120 210 dan 240 330. The Gorlov turbine is a hydrokinetic turbine technology different from conventional water turbine. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally and also be used in low-head conditions however, it has a frontal area which depends on the curved dimensions of helical blade. Hydrokinetic turbines are used for hydroelectric power plants by converting kinetic energy from river and tidal streams.
