A system for monitoring a plurality of wind turbines can include a turbine categorizer, executing on one or more computing platforms that categorizes each of a plurality of wind turbines as being damaged or undamaged to form a list of potentially damaged wind turbines. The system can also include a damage evaluator executing on the one or more computing platforms that predicts a damage type and a stage for each wind turbine in the list of potentially damaged wind turbines. The system can further include an impact engine executing on the one or more computing platforms that assigns a repair window and a priority for each wind turbine in the list of potentially damaged wind turbines based on a respective predicted damage type and stage.

A method of retrofitting a pier/mat foundation and assemblies for same. Retrofitting includes attaching fortification brackets around an outside of a pier of a pier/mat foundation of a wind turbine structure. Fortification rod bottom ends are secured to the mat outside of the pier and near a location under an outer portion of each installed fortification bracket. Fortification rod top ends are attached to openings in outer portions of the fortification brackets. A retrofitting foundation fortification assembly includes a top bracket with at least one hole to receive a foundation anchor holding a wind turbine tower to a pier/mat foundation; a vertical portion dependent from the top bracket near a vertical face of the pier when the at least one hole receives foundation anchors; and a fortification rod hole located outside of the pier when the at least one hole receives the foundation anchors.
