Abstract
Oceanic tidal energy sources hydroelectric generating system coupled to a primary tidal reservoir through a bi-directional tideway exciting a primary turbine as a diurnal cycle tide waxes and wanes. A secondary tidal reservoir includes a tideway and secondary turbine with flow modulated by a gradated control of a sluice gate to proportionately blend reserve tidewater capacity of the secondary tidal reservoir as a delayed resource of virtual tidal influx and reflux. An aggregate summation of tidal energy acting upon the turbine driven generators delivers a constant flow of electric power throughout the diurnal tidal cycle. A tertiary tidal reservoir operating in alternation with the secondary tidal reservoir optimizes the secondary turbine drive during slack-tide. Shunting excess tidal energy around the turbines during periods of reduced power-demand supplements tidal resources in subsequent phases of the diurnal tidal day when solar-day related power-demand may increase.
