Andreas Fleischhacker

Andreas Fleischhacker is a Researcher at TU Wien's Department of Energy Economics and Efficiency, contributing to the E370-03 research area. His work focuses on renewable energy systems, energy communities, and optimization of distributed energy resources. He has led studies on peer-to-peer energy trading, photovoltaic (PV) integration, and the economic viability of renewable energy projects across Europe.

Research interests include:

• Energy communities and their profitability in varying regulatory environments
• Optimization models for smart grids and demand response
• Electric mobility infrastructure and storage systems
• Market mechanisms for decentralized energy systems

Key publications analyze PV sharing models, cost-benefit analyses of energy communities, and aggregator business models. His work frequently bridges technical innovation with policy implications, aiming to enhance energy system resilience and sustainability.

He has advised over a dozen master's theses on topics like optimal EV charging station placement, photovoltaic system economics, and district heating optimization. Fleischhacker collaborates on EU-funded projects such as BestRES and Flex+, addressing renewable energy integration challenges.

His research often highlights the importance of consumer participation in energy systems through innovative business models and fair trading frameworks.
