1. A control system for a multiple fuel internal combustion engine having one or more cylinders, comprising:

  • at least one cylinder pressure sensor associated with each cylinder of the engine;

    a data collection module configured to receive real-time cylinder pressure measurements from each of the at least one cylinder pressure sensors and calculate one or more actual combustion parameter values from the real-time cylinder pressure measurements;

    a comparison module configured to receive the calculated one or more actual combustion parameter values from the data collection module and compare the calculated one or more actual combustion parameter values for each cylinder to reference combustion parameter values to determine any difference therebetween, wherein the reference combustion parameter values are the same for each of the cylinders; and

    a process control module configured to control fuel injection of at least two different types of fuel supplied to each cylinder in order to reduce any difference between the calculated actual combustion parameter values for each cylinder and the reference combustion parameter values.
