-r'''Provides strongly-typed unique identifiers for entities.
-
-This module offers a base class,
-[`BaseId`][frequenz.client.microgrid.id.BaseId], which can be subclassed to
-create distinct ID types for different components or concepts within a system.
-These IDs ensure type safety, meaning that an ID for one type of entity (e.g., a
-sensor) cannot be mistakenly used where an ID for another type (e.g., a
-microgrid) is expected.
-
-# Creating Custom ID Types
-
-To define a new ID type, create a class that inherits from
-[`BaseId`][frequenz.client.microgrid.id.BaseId] and provide a unique
-`str_prefix` as a keyword argument in the class definition. This prefix is used
-in the string representation of the ID and must be unique across all ID types.
-
-Note:
-    The `str_prefix` must be unique across all ID types. If you try to use a
-    prefix that is already registered, a `ValueError` will be raised when defining
-    the class.
-
-To encourage consistency, the class name must end with the suffix "Id" (e.g.,
-`MyNewId`). This check can be bypassed by passing `allow_custom_name=True` when
-defining the class (e.g., `class MyCustomName(BaseId, str_prefix="MCN",
-allow_custom_name=True):`).
-
-Tip:
-    Use the [`@typing.final`][typing.final] decorator to prevent subclassing of
-    ID classes.
-
-Example: Creating a standard ID type
-    ```python
-    from typing import final
-    from frequenz.client.microgrid.id import BaseId
-
-    @final
-    class InverterId(BaseId, str_prefix="INV"):
-        """A unique identifier for an inverter."""
-
-    inv_id = InverterId(123)
-    print(inv_id)       # Output: INV123
-    print(int(inv_id))  # Output: 123
-    ```
-
-Example: Creating an ID type with a non-standard name
-    ```python
-    from typing import final
-    from frequenz.client.microgrid.id import BaseId
-
-    @final
-    class CustomNameForId(BaseId, str_prefix="CST", allow_custom_name=True):
-        """An ID with a custom name, not ending in 'Id'."""
-
-    custom_id = CustomNameForId(456)
-    print(custom_id)       # Output: CST456
-    print(int(custom_id))  # Output: 456
-    ```
-
-# Predefined ID Types
-
-This module predefines the following ID types:
-
-- [`ComponentId`][frequenz.client.microgrid.id.ComponentId]: For identifying
-    generic components.
-- [`MicrogridId`][frequenz.client.microgrid.id.MicrogridId]: For identifying
-    microgrids.
-- [`SensorId`][frequenz.client.microgrid.id.SensorId]: For identifying sensors.
