The major problem that is solved in most researches is to quickly determine the power point of the panel. This article proposes developing a more functionality controller and maintaining battery power even in cloudy weather. Calculations are made for a given function in different modes of the solar panel. Values are recorded and so we have a number of functions that are subsequently called for the particular mode. Two PID controllers are implemented in the current limitation mode. Calculate the first power derivative and keep the result to be zero.","PeriodicalId":306452,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE XXVIII International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127580136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to increase their reliability, multiple software-implemented countermeasures have been proposed. To ease their implementation, we have developed a GCC plugin which can automatically implement a variety of existing counter-measures. This plugin is being developed incrementally, continuously adding support for new techniques. However, when developing software incrementally, there is a need for regression testing. This assures previously supported case studies are still operating as expected. This paper presents our approach to automated regression testing for our GCC toolchain.","PeriodicalId":306452,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE XXVIII International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116769891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
