Strictly speaking, it's not a turbine that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy, it's a generator, although the entire windmill mechanism is sometimes referred to as a turbine. It's the same idea as getting electrical power from falling water (hydroelectric) or from fuel-powered engines. See the ref. web site for details.

the fans of windmill are attached to the shaft. as these fans rotate, the shaft also rotates. this shaft is fed into the magnetic field. as the conductor cuts the magnetic field the current is generated in the conductor. hence the electrical energy is released from the windmill

most modern windmills work the opposite of conventional generators - they have coils of wire that stay stationary, and the "propellers" that are moving in the wind are connected to a shaft that goes into the middle of the coils and has two magnets attached to it. when the magnets rotate they "induce" or produce an electrical current in the coils of wire

wind blows the blade on the windmill -> blade is connected to the turbine -> when the blade moves, the generator moves and gives you electric energy
