contents This paper studies the data-driven synthesis of linear quadratic integral (LQI) controllers for continuous-time systems. The objective is to achieve optimal state-feedback control with integral action for reference tracking using only measured data. To this end, we derive a data-driven closed-loop parameterization of the augmented dynamics that incorporates the integral state while relying solely on input-state-output measurements of the underlying system. Based on this parameterization, a data-driven convex optimization problem is formulated whose solution yields the optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) feedback gain for the augmented system without explicit knowledge of the system matrices. In addition, a policy gradient flow is derived to compute the optimal controller within the space of stabilizing gains. The proposed approach enables data-driven optimal tracking control while avoiding explicit state augmentation in the data collection phase. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through a numerical example involving a distributed generation unit (DGU) in a DC microgrid.
