[esp-r] Major additions to CETC_BATTERY model

[Ribberink, Hajo]

Dear ESP-r user,

The functionality of the lead acid battery model in ESP-r (source code
in CETC_BATTERY.F) has been expanded with battery life calculation and
an optional active battery life controller. Consequently, the number of
inputs (POWCDAT items) has increased from 47 to 57. Please update you
simulations models in which you use the battery model to ensure proper
functioning of your models. The new code has been submitted to the
development_branch and will be included in the next ESP-r release.

The battery model can now also be used to represent (Vanadium) Redox
Flow Batteries by selecting power-only component 21 (26 inputs).

Please contact me in case you have any questions.
