Bringing back - "SCE Pilot- Upgrading CAVA pilot to focus on batch mode to reduce code complexity"

[claalmve]

Description of PR

Summary of changes and related issue

Reverts https://github.com/cal-adapt/climakitae/pull/443. This is to debug a new and improved batch mode using LOCA data. Theoretically, if this is debugged, this PRs integration into vulnerability.py should reduce the space/time complexities of cava_data and also make the back-end code much more readable and useable.

Relevant motivation and context

This is introduced again so that debugging LOCA batch mode functionality can be more easily done and we can eventually push in a much cleaner, more streamlined cava_data.
