along with the derivation of the equations given here. The handbook editor
added minor transitional wording to adapt the procedure to the format used in
the handbook.
COMPUTATION OF MODULATED SINGLE-POOL TIDAL
SYSTEM ENERGY AND POWER

the results with those for a simple single-pool system. Figure 4 shows a
single-pool tidal system.
Calculation Procedure:
1. Calculate the total energy
