Add a new component category for fuses #62

Description

What's needed?

Fuses limit the current flowing through them to a rated number. While it's straightforward to allocate this limit directly to a component when fuses are positioned immediately downstream, this approach isn't universally applicable. Consider these scenarios:

  1. Whenever fuses are placed after voltage transformers, the scaling effect of the transformer needs to factored.
  2. It's possible to position a fuse to protect multiple components simultaneously.

These situations underscore the point that fuses can't be universally associated with a single component. To provide a comprehensive solution, it becomes essential to view fuses as distinct entities within a microgrid.

The above scenarios entail that a fuse can not be generally associated with a component. A general solution would be to represent fuses as separate entities in a microgrid, so that the scenarios mentioned above can be addressed.

Proposed solution

We need to introduce Fuse as a new component category.
