1. A set of units for assembly to form a nacelle for a wind turbine, the set of units comprising:
a main unit arranged to be connected to a wind turbine tower, the main unit including a top, a bottom, and at least one side between the top and bottom, the main unit including an interior housing at least a main bearing unit and a gear arrangement of the wind turbine, and
at least two different auxiliary units each including an interior that houses an operative component of the wind turbine, wherein the at least two different auxiliary units have identical interfaces towards the main unit whereby one of the auxiliary units can be selected from the at least two auxiliary units and assembled with the main unit to form the nacelle,
wherein a wall extends between the main unit and the one of the at least two auxiliary units to separate the interior of the main unit and the interior of the one of the at least two auxiliary units.
