Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A retrofitted wind turbine installation for replacing a prior wind turbine installation includes the foundation of the prior wind turbine installation and a replacement wind turbine supported by the foundation, wherein the tower of the retrofitted wind turbine installation is a cable-stayed tower to reduce the bending loads imposed on the foundation. A method of retrofitting an existing wind turbine installation with a replacement wind turbine includes disassembling at least a portion of the existing wind turbine, assembling a replacement tower to a remaining portion of the existing wind turbine installation, attaching a plurality of stay cables between the tower of the retrofitted wind turbine installation and stay cable foundations, and attaching the replacement energy generating unit to the replacement tower.
