This is a rotating machine that converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a grinding stone, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is first converted to electricity, the machine is called this. Example: a windmill that generates energy to pump water

The machine you are describing, which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity, is commonly referred to as a wind turbine. In the specific example you provided, a wind turbine used to generate energy to pump water would be part of a wind-powered water pump system.
