Abstract
A wind turbine comprising, a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, and a rotor for harvesting wind energy by rotation of the rotor about a rotor axis extending in a vertical center plane. The nacelle comprises a main unit and two auxiliary units each housing a first and a second operative component. To obtain a combination of reuse of components and a good weight distribution, the first operative components in the first and second auxiliary units have the same distance to the center plane and the second operative components in the first and second auxiliary units have different distances to the center plane.
