Abstract:
A method for reducing variations in tension in a drive belt 7 of an accessory belt drive system is disclosed in which an electrical load imposed upon the drive belt 7 by an electrical generator 8 is modulated based upon fluctuations in the speed at which the drive belt 7 is driven. By reducing the electrical load when the drive belt 7 is being accelerated and increasing the electrical load when the drive belt is decelerating the difference between the maximum tension and the minimum tension in the drive belt 7 is reduced.
