Repetitive controllers have demonstrated efficacy in the rejection of cyclic disturbances in pulse-width modulated voltage-source inverters. However, the performance of these controllers is compromised if their period are not synchronized with the period of the reference signal. This drawback restrict their use in variable frequency applications. In order to mitigate this problem, it is proposed a modification in these controllers to make them suitable for sinusoidal references with variable frequency. The proposed algorithm is simple given that is only performed a chance in the length of circular buffers and in the pointer used to address them. Experimental results, obtained with two different prototypes, are presented to validate the proposed technique.
