PV Simulator Packaged as a Standalone Application Based Docker Container

Abstract

With the new feature MATLAB Compiler™ available starting R2020b Matlab, an application developed in Matlab can be packaged as docker standalone application and deployed using Docker® container service. The target system running the standalone application must be a Linux distribution and requires a MATLAB® Runtime installation and an active docker service. The proposed standalone application is a PV simulator GUI programmatically implemented in Matlab based on two photovoltaic (PV) panels' data sheets. The obtained PV simulator is launched in both MATLAB® environment, where initial was designed and externally in a Linux environment as a standalone application independent of the design program. No differences between the reported results, this proving the possibility of large-scale usability of what was designed.
