Abstract

The article focuses on the efforts made by engineers of London, England 2012 Olympic games to minimize the risk of the Olympic Park, Stratford, England's proposed wind turbine showering lumps of ice onto members of the public. Mott MacDonald energy director Simon Harrison said that any turbine at risk of icing should be monitored with closet circuit televisions or ice detectors and shut down when icing is thought to occur.
