The proposed technique comprises the random pulse position PWM with a randomised frequently triangular carrier having characteristics of both space vector and random lead-lag modulations. This random pulse PWM is produced through the logical comparison of the pseudorandom binary sequence bits with the PWM pulses corresponding to two fixed frequency triangular carriers. Matlab/Simulink was used for modelling and simulation of the proposed method. It has been found that the output harmonic spectra of a Z-source inverter operating under the PWM with randomised frequency are dispersed and continuously distributed that can significantly reduce acoustic noise generated by the inverter and the load.
