What's needed?

We have two types of equipment in our microgrids:

• electrical control or measurement component, such as inverters, batteries, meters, etc.
• sensors providing details of the surrounding environment, such as temperature, humidity, irradiance, etc.

Currently, sensors are represented as a component category. This breaks the concept of the term "component", which is meant to refer to electrical components only.

Hence, sensors should be represented as an entity disjointed from components. We need to ensure that "sensors", as a concept,
a. exist at the same level as components
b. are not components

Proposed solution

A simple approach to address this would be to
a. remove sensors from the ComponentCategory enum, AND
b. rename the SensorType enum to SensorCategory.
