contents Online Feedback Optimization (OFO) controllers steer a system to its optimal operating point by treating optimization algorithms as auxiliary dynamic systems. Implementation of OFO controllers requires setting the parameters of the optimization algorithm that allows reaching convergence, posing a challenge because the convergence of the optimization algorithm is often decoupled from the performance of the controlled system. OFO controllers are also typically designed to ensure steady-state tracking by fixing the sampling time to be longer than the time constants of the system. In this paper, we first quantify the impact of OFO parameters and the sampling time on the tracking error and number of oscillations of the controlled system, showing that adjusting them without waiting for steady state allows good tracking. We then propose a tuning method for the sampling time of the OFO controller together with the parameters to allow tracking fast trajectories while reducing oscillations. We validate the proposed tuning approach in a pressure controller in a centrifugal compressor, tracking trajectories faster than the time needed to reach the steady state by the compressor. The results of the validation confirm that simultaneous tuning of the sampling time and the parameters of OFO yields up to 87% times better tracking performance than manual tuning based on steady state.
