This diploma thesis focuses on the development of computationally efficient and easily configurable simulation models of selected energy sources, intended for future use in the design of supervisory control based on machine learning. The thesis develops models of a heat pump, a cogeneration unit, and a photovoltaic system. For the heat pump and cogeneration unit, a data-driven modelling approach based on regression relationships was applied, with the configuration reduced to a main power-related parameter. The photovoltaic system was modelled using the pvlib library, while the design procedure was modified so that the system can be defined by the required installed capacity. Finally, the developed models were integrated into a common simulation environment, which also includes supplementary models such as a battery storage system, a thermal storage tank, and a simplified 1R1C building model. The functionality of the environment was verified through a case study comparing temperature-based and economically oriented control strategies. The results show that the proposed environment is capable of capturing the operational, energy-related, and economic impacts of different control strategies and represents a suitable basis for the further development of supervisory control methods.
