However, the pressure control of IBS is usually affected by lumped disturbance such as friction uncertainties, time-varying hydraulic characteristics and unmodeled dynamics, which present significant challenges to the pressure tracking. In order to achieve high-precision, fast-response, and robust pressure tracking performance, this article proposes a disturbance-rejection pressure control strategy. First, to improve the response rate, a non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control (NFTSMC) with finite-time convergence is applied in the basic pressure regulator. Subsequently, a super-twisting algorithm is used to reduce the control chattering in NFTSMC and enhance pressure tracking accuracy. On this basis, we design a finite-time extended state observer to estimate the lumped disturbance, which is then integrated into the NFTSMC to maintain the robustness with small control gains. This integration also reconciles the contradiction between control chattering and robustness in the NFTSMC. The finite-time convergence of the proposed strategy is rigorously validated during both the reaching and sliding phases of sliding mode control. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop experiments are performed. The experimental results demonstrate that compared to the baseline, the proposed strategy achieves at least a 28% improvement in pressure-tracking root mean square error and maximum error.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 106811"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, many model-free control methods are emerged. However, complex control algorithms are often accompanied by high computational burden, which affects their online application on low-power processors. Motivated by this, this paper proposes a novel online data-driven model-free predictive control method with low computational burden. The prediction module adopts the data-driven form of autoregressive exogenous model, which eliminates the dependence on physical parameters by information mining through system input and output data. In order to reduce the computational burden, this paper proposes a vector optimization method based on linear programming, which avoids the traversal optimization in the conventional finite-set model predictive control method and thus improves the computational efficiency. Meanwhile, a model-free midpoint voltage balancing solution is proposed, which utilizes the small vector redundancy feature to achieve accurate balancing. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method achieves excellent performance and computational efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 106836"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimizing the performance of these complex engines over a wide range of operating conditions results in exploded control calibration efforts for traditional calibration methods. In this paper, an automated engine calibration framework based on constrained Extremum Seeking (ES) control is proposed to effectively reduce calibration times. Contrary to previous research that optimizes an efficiency metric, the proposed ES algorithm directly shapes the entire in-cylinder pressure trace by decomposing it into Principal Components (PCs) and controlling the associated weights towards their optimal reference, defined by an Ideal Thermodynamic cycle. This method finds an optimal trade-off between controllability of the PC weights and optimality, while explicitly addressing combustion safety constraints using a novel gradient based projection method for the PC weights. The proposed ES controller was successfully implemented for fuel path calibration on a single cylinder engine running in dual-fuel (diesel-gasoline) mode. Besides demonstrating optimality and convergence of the ES concept within 4 min, the handling of an arbitrary constraint on maximal in-cylinder pressure is validated. Despite the under-actuated nature of the control problem for the PC weights, the resulting ES optimal operating point is close to the actual maximal thermal efficiency point. This work highlights the practical viability of automated calibration methods through a model-free in-cylinder pressure shaping approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 106834"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A model-free optimization approach is proposed based on the classical modulation-demodulation ESC scheme, particularly suited to bioreactors whose dynamics evolve slowly and vary over time due to irradiance, temperature, mixing and biomass growth. To enable within-day convergence, the dither frequency was deliberately placed outside the dominant bandwidth of the process, ensuring sufficient excitation cycles during daylight operation. The high-pass filter (HPF) cutoff was then tuned to reject slow diurnal drifts while providing the phase lead required by the out-of-band design, thus preserving an accurate gradient estimate. In addition, a static data-driven feedforward of solar irradiance was incorporated to cancel predictable disturbances associated with photosynthetic activity, improving transient response and reducing corrective effort from the ESC loop. The approach was deployed on full-scale 80 m<sup>2</sup> raceways under realistic outdoor and semi-industrial conditions. Results demonstrate robust pH regulation and fast daytime convergence toward the optimal operating region, with minimal modelling effort, highlighting ESC as a practical and effective tool for real-time pH control in microalgal bioprocesses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50615,"journal":{"name":"Control Engineering Practice","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 106835"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
