← ScienceWhich consequence results when a large wind turbine encounters atmospheric turbulence?
A)Increased blade fatigue life is certain
B)Accelerated gearbox wear becomes likely✓
C)Generator output stabilizes dramatically overall
D)Feathering mechanisms suddenly become unnecessary
💡 Explanation
Gearbox wear accelerates because turbulent airflow causes unpredictable torque fluctuations through energy cascade, rather than smooth power generation. Therefore, gearbox components experience more stress, eventually leading to premature failure, and rather than stable output because the input power will fluctuate.
