The issue of the selection of mechanical drive for medium size power generators was raised in the work. The issue begins with the analysis of the propulsion system in the hydroelectric power plant, in which the turbines were selected for the amount of water flowing and for these turbines electric generators. An overview of the available drive solutions pointed to belt transmissions, which must meet the task of transferring torque from the turbine to the generator. The solution must be durable, which is why the authors conducted a deep analysis of material issues and pointed to modern polymer strips that can meet the challenges posed.
