Abstract:
A tower arrangement for a wind turbine, including: a guyed tower, cable foundations each including a through-hole, one or more stay cables, each stay cable being anchored at its first end at the tower and being anchored at its second end at one of the cable foundations, and one or more anchoring means for anchoring the second end of each stay cable at the respective cable foundation, wherein each stay cable is guided through a respective through-hole and anchored, with respect to its first end, behind the respective through-hole at its second end using the anchoring means is provided. By having the cable foundations comprising the through-holes, guiding the stay cables through the through-holes and anchoring them behind the through-holes, external connection means such as steel structures poured into the concrete foundation are not required. Thus, the anchoring of the stay cables at the cable foundations is simplified.
