Which consequence results when an encoder on a wind turbine's yaw motor experiences vibrational loosening?

💡 Explanation

Nacelle misalignment relative to the wind happens because vibration interferes with the quadrature encoder signal, therefore the PLC loses precise yaw position rather than rotor over-speed; wind direction cannot be optimized or tracked. Gearbox and blade-pitch are secondary effects.
