A Cross flow turbine is the most popular micro power plants because of the simple construction, reliable, but until to now, the turbine performance is still low compared with other water turbines. The purpose of this study was to examine the increase of the cross flow turbine with a dual nozzle as a hydro power generation performance. The research method is by testing and analyzing the dual nozzle Cross flow turbine performance. The Cross flow turbine best performance obtained in this study is that the best efficiency and optimal cross flow turbine with a dual nozzle of 78. 80%. While the efficiency for a single nozzle cross flow turbine mounted horizontally is a little bit lower which is about 70. 78%. While for the single nozzle cross flow turbine with a vertical position has the lowest efficiency of 61. 92%. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).
