A repetitive control method is presented that is implemented in real-time for periodic wind disturbance rejec- tion for linear systems with multi inputs and multi outputs and with both repetitive and non-repetitive disturbance components. The novel repetitive controller can learn the periodic wind disturbances for fixed-speed wind turbines and variable-speed wind turbines operating above-rated and we will demonstrate this on an experimental "smart" rotor test section. The "smart" rotor is a rotor where the blades are equipped with a number of control devices that locally change the lift profile on the blade, combined with appropriate sensors and controllers. The rotational speed of wind turbines operating above-rated will vary around a defined reference speed, therefore methods are given to robustify the repetitive controllers for a mismatch in the period. The design of the repetitive controller is formulated as a lifted linear stochastic output-feedback problem on which the mature techniques of discrete linear control may be applied. With relatively slow changing periodic disturbances it is shown that this control method can significantly reduce the structural vibrations of the "smart" rotor test section. The cost of addi- tional wear and tear of the "smart" actuators are kept small, because a smooth control action is generated as the controller mainly focuses on the reduction of periodic disturbances.
