Amy B. Cerato, Ph.D., University of Oklahoma, presented Designing Small Wind Tower Guyed Cable
Foundations Using Helical Anchors Subject
to Dynamic Loads at the DFI seminar in CA. She has done considerable research on it.

Foundation Analysis & Design, Bowles, 1988 edition has Rocking stifness & other dynamic properties. Check, however, with the turbine manufacturer on the allowable range.
In the end, you will need to have the structural designer help with modelling, determining loads per pile, uplift resistance, connection design etc.
