PVSystem
type: Class
subclass of: EnergyGenerator
comment: This class represents phtovoltaic systems. A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.

CombinedHeatAndPowerGenerator
type: Class
subclass of: EnergyGenerator
label: This class represets combined heat and power generators. Thes systems use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time.

Eletric Vehicle
type: Class
subclass of: EnergyGenerator
comment: This class represents electric vehicles. An electric vehicle, also called an EV, uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion.

EnergyGenerator
type: Class
subclass of: Device
comment: This class represents any device that produces energy
