Toby has joined Blake Clough as a Power Systems Consultant. His work at Blake Clough has exposed him to the grid connection application process in GB, specifically involved in Blake Clough’s curtailment analysis projects. He has worked on the design and operation of Blake Clough’s curtailment script, providing ANM and inter-tripping curtailment analysis reports for various clients. More recently, he has been involved with creating Power Systems models in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, carrying out analysis on reduced versions of a model for Great Britain under future energy scenarios.
Toby holds a 1st class (Hons) integrated Masters in Physics from Durham University, specialising in computational physics. As part of his final year project, he developed a driver-behaviour based model for road traffic, specifically investigating the effects of driver behaviour on vehicle CO2 emissions. This project produced recommendations on how drivers can best alter their driving style to reduce emissions. After graduating, Toby worked briefly at Oxford University, constructing an innovative physical model of the climate which demonstrates the urgent need for net zero. This model has been used at many outreach events, at some of which Toby has been able to present the model in a lecture format.
At Blake Clough Toby is keen to apply his analytical approach to power systems to deliver high quality solutions.
Outside of work, Toby plays the cornet in a brass band and enjoys staying active through playing squash and badminton.
