As I understand it, there are two energy (work) compartments. The first is aerobic and is essentially limitless for model purposes, but can only sustain subthreshold efforts. The second is anaerobic, adds to the aerobic process to get you over threshold, and is quickly depleted. It is restored when effort is reduced and the anaerobic process is turned down. W' is your anearobic work capacity in joules. W'bal is how much of it you have left at a given point.
