Abstract: A novel approach for accelerating the auto-tuning of PI controllers during the commissioning phase is proposed in this study. This approach combines transfer learning and Bayesian optimization (BO) to minimize the number of iterations required to converge to the optimal solution. Transfer learning is employed to extract valuable information from available historical data derived from expert tuning of other equivalent process variants. In the absence of historical data, a simulation model can also be utilized to generate data from different model variants (e.g., changing the value of unknown parameters). In this study, a simulation model is used for generating historical data. The approach’s efficiency is demonstrated through its application to a thermal plant, achieving a significant reduction in the number of iterations required to reach the optimizer’s optimal solution.
