    aA tidal power plant of the simple single basin type has a basin area of $30\times10^{6}\ \mathrm{m}^2$. The tide has a range of 12 m. The turbine, however, stops operating when the head on it falls below 3 m. Calculate the energy generated in 1 filling \left(or emptying\right) process in kWh if the turbine generator efficiency is 0.73.
