Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) emerges as a promising control approach due to its partial model-based characteristics and strong disturbance rejection capabilities. Nevertheless, it is a difficult problem to tune various parameters of ADRC in practical applications. To address the challenge of parameter tuning, this work develops a parameter self-tuning rule based on spatial–temporal scale transformations to simplify the tuning process and enhance its control performance. In particular, based on the transformations of spatial–temporal scale, the parameter tuning relationships for ADRC’s components, including tracking differentiator (TD), extended state observer (ESO) and feedback controller, are provided for a second-order nonlinear system. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method can conveniently and effectively provide a set of well-tuned parameters for ADRC to boost the efficiency of control. Finally, the proposed parameter tuning rule is applied to the intake pressure control of the flight test chamber system, further validating its effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the ADRC with the proposed parameter self-tuning method significantly improves the precision of the intake pressure under different operating conditions, thereby ensuring the reliability of aeroengine flight tests.
