Fabian Heymann

Fabian Heymann is an External Research Collaborator at INESC TEC's Power and Energy Systems Centre since April 2014, specializing in energy systems integration with expertise in electric mobility and renewable energy.

His educational background:

• B.Sc. (2011)
• M.Sc. (2014)

Heymann's research focuses on Energy Systems, Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles, Power Systems, and Smart Grids. He develops advanced methodologies like GIS and diffusion theory for spatial load forecasting of EV charging infrastructure and assesses power-to-gas potential for renewable energy storage, addressing critical grid planning challenges in sustainable energy transitions.

His publications reveal consistent innovation in modeling spatio-temporal energy demand patterns and economic integration of renewables. The 2017 EV charging study demonstrated substation overloading risks at 25% penetration, while the 2015 power-to-gas analysis provided Portugal-specific LCOE frameworks for wind-to-gas conversion, showcasing his dual focus on technical feasibility and economic viability.

Heymann applies practical industry experience through strategic consultancy for international entities including GIZ and major energy utilities, alongside participation in EU projects that bridge academic research with real-world energy infrastructure challenges.

He operates within INESC TEC's Power and Energy Systems Centre and maintains connections to the MIT Portugal consortium, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations for next-generation energy system solutions.
