Aiming at complicated characteristic analysis and implementation of the randomization space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) scheme, a new random zero-vector SVPWM scheme with a fixed randomization range is proposed. The fixed range is a linear function of the modulation index. Firstly, the principle of the new scheme is given. In addition, the implicit modulating voltages, the derivation procedure of the micro and macro harmonic distortion factor (HDF) are presented in detail, and the

... e Carlo method is proposed to efficiently analyze the HDF. Finally, the harmonic spectrum of the new scheme is analyzed compared with the commonly used symmetrical 7-segment SVPWM scheme through an example, and the result verifies its excellent performance on suppressing the cluster harmonic magnitude around the integer multiple switching frequency.
