The worlds largest and most powerful offshore wind turbine looms large over the town of Methil, Fife, in the Firth of Forth, November 29 2013. The 7MW turbine made by Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) is a prototype offshore turbine that measures 196 metres to the tip of its blades and is due to become operational later this year. Among its features, it includes the world's longest turbine blade at almost 85-metres. To put this in context this record has been extended by almost 10 metres over the last year.
