Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The battery compute modules provide useful metrics like "Electricity to load from system" which are not available when a battery is not present.
Describe the solution you'd like
Utilize the powerflow shared code in a stand alone compute module that can run with any behind the meter system. This can also lead to annual/lifetime metrics such as "percent of load energy met by the system."
Additional considerations: need to test that the powerflow code is robust to a zero battery size, otherwise we'll need to consider alternatives.

Research direction
Start by locating the powerflow shared code and the existing battery compute modules. Check whether powerflow handles a zero battery size, then define a standalone compute module usable by any behind-the-meter system and verify metrics such as electricity to load and percent of load energy met.
