One of the DC-DC conversion systems is boost converters, which are used in commonly with solar systems to convert low DC voltage levels to higher ones. This is particularly useful in solar systems because the voltage generated by solar panels can vary widely depending on factors such as the amount of sunlight and the temperature of the panels. The duty cycle of the boost must be controlled to have the maximum output power. Using the Grey Wolf Optimizer to control the duty cycle of a boost converter is one of the ways to have this maximum power. The optimization problem can be stated as minimizing the voltage error of the boost converter output by optimizing the duty cycle. The objective function can be defined as the difference between the desired output voltage and the actual output voltage of the boost converter. The duty cycle can be optimized by adjusting the PWM signal's pulse width that controls the boost converter switch.
