Piet Goempel refactored the EnergyManager module in the EVerest/everest-core repository, introducing a dedicated implementation layer to decouple optimization logic from its wrapper and improve maintainability. He developed a JSON-based unit test framework, migrating existing C++ tests to a centralized format for easier management and faster regression cycles. In EVerest/libocpp, Piet standardized versioning and enhanced protocol robustness by refining error handling and certificate validation, leveraging C++ and CMake to enforce stricter compile-time safety. He also strengthened security-critical components by improving exception handling and error propagation, resulting in more reliable embedded systems and streamlined onboarding for OCPP protocol deployments.

Monthly work summary for 2025-03 focused on improving robustness and stability of security-critical components in the Everest core.

December 2024: Delivered a targeted Architecture Refactor of EnergyManager with EnergyManagerImpl to decouple core optimization logic from the wrapper, complemented by a JSON-based unit test framework to boost testability and maintainability. Migrated existing C++ unit tests to a JSON input/expected-output format, enabling easier test case management and faster regression cycles. This work strengthens the robustness of energy optimization features and accelerates future development.
