Solution Recovery Option

[ccoffrin]

Add an output setting for requesting to attempt to recover a feasible solution from optimization model. This setting will be off by default. Turning it on will call a recover_solution function in build_solution. Similar to get_solution, recover_solution can be parameterized by formulation. recover_solution will take the populated solution dict and attempt to add additional values (e.g. voltage angles in an SOC relaxation). recover_solution will also set a "feasible" flag, to indicate if the recovered solution is expected to be an approximation or true solution to the AC equations (e.g. rank 1 in the SDP relaxation).

Should this capability be more general and live in InfrastructureModels?

[ccoffrin]

Quite possible, in other infrastructure systems are you aware of algorithms that can be used to try and recover a feasible solution from the lifted variable space?

[ccoffrin]

Closing as this feature can now be implemented by solution post-processing functions.
