The primary reason for using fiber optic cables for communication and control in offshore tidal energy plants is their immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and their ability to transmit large amounts of data over long distances with minimal signal loss, ensuring reliable and high-bandwidth communication in the electrically noisy offshore environment. Offshore environments are characterized by high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as power cables, generators, and electrical equipment. EMI can disrupt the transmission of signals throug....
