Depends on the type of energy system -
First, you need the fuel distribution source - e.g., a oil tank feeding a boiler, a nuclear reactor, a hydro dam.
Second, you need a generation plant - e.g., turbine generators and their associated equipment (some plants combine 1 & 2).
Third, you need an electrical distribution system from the generator.

I think flood... has the best answer. But I think the answer should be for an open, not closed, system. The three main kinds of energy (PE, KE, and heat) are still valid, but an open system can provide work energy as its output; therefore, it would be a useful system. By the way, there are also nuclear energy and chemical energy that one can add to the list.
A closed system just sits there doing nothing to or for the outside world. It would be useless in the strictest sense of the word. Why? Because a closed system, by definition, has no input or output from or into outside the system.
By the way, the best definition of energy I've run across over the years is that it is "The capability to move things or cause a change." A prime example of this definition at work is W = Fd = work; where a force F is applied to a mass and "moved" d distance. Thus, work and energy are one and the same thing.

Source of fuel
Unit to convert source to energy
Method of encapsulating produced energy
Well it sounds good to me but probably not what you are looking for but hope it worth 10 points anyway

Energy is obtained from fossils oil and gas. It can be obtained from coal, from shale rock. It can be nuclear energy. It can be hydroelectric energy. It can be obtained from wind. It can be obtained from solar energy directly from sun rays. It can be bio energy from plant products. It can be from ocean tides. IT can be from geothermal, such as geysers.

I'm pretty sure this question doesn't make any sense.
