| Abstract | Above Ground Geothermal and Allied Technologies (AGGAT) represents the technological research and development base for above ground technologies in power generation. Much progress has been made in the development of these technologies over the past decade and even more so since its formal inception in 2012 through dedicated financial support from NZ government. The New Zealand Heavy Engineering Research Association has been actively promoting and supporting the advancement of this research at a national scale through its AGGAT research roadmap and programme which encompasses research and development in the areas of technology concepts, turbines, heat exchangers, control systems and binary fluids. This paper presents an update on the activities undertaken in each area of its research and implications of their outcomes for New Zealand Industry. |
