In this paper, it is shown how to integrate optimization method called Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) in P&O to choice the duty cycle perturbation and the first initialization condition based in maximizing power output. Using a DC-DC converter “Boost” associated with the photovoltaic panel; so working to get the maximum power that is mean, earn a good yield. The results of the simulation performed under the tool Simulink/Matlab shows the effectiveness of the integration PSO optimization method in P&O.enPhotovoltaic systems, Boost, PWM, MPPT, P&O, PSOImproved Perturb & Observe Method by Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Photovoltaic SystemOther
