The versatility of direct current (DC) machines combined with the relative simplicity of their drive systems ensures its continued use in a wide variety of applications in industrial electrical systems, more specifically in applications that require a wide range of speed and position control of the rotor. This research proposes a new method for tuning proportional-integral-derivative controllers with disturbance rejection using genetic algorithm (GA). The propor- tional, integral and derivative gains, designed to control the rotor position of DC motor, were optimised using GA in conjunction with Ziegler–Nichols tuning method, and the disturbances rejec- tion obtained from the implementation of feedforward control in the algorithm. Preliminary results showed that the proposed GA provided a satisfactory response, both in transitional regime as at steady state, and also a good performance in disturbance rejection. To validate this technique, the results obtained were compared with other methods on literature.
