It is at the intersection of all sorts of science. From the meterologist who looks at wind patterns and works out where good sites would be, to the ecologist who looks at effects on bird populations and local wildlife, to the materials scientist who puts together the right materials for the windmill blades to the physicist who understands the dynamo that generates the electricity.

In practice many of the sciences are represented by engineers: folks who aren't doing new science, but are experienced in using scientific theories to get practical results (the folks working on the electricity generating side, and the windmill engineer, for example). But that is true of most practical science.

by the way, in addition to the above answer which is entirely accurate, the energy obtained from the force of wind to produce electricity is technically called EOLIC ENERGY. It is not a specific science but rather a technique which uses several scientific and engineering principles or knowldege, as stated above.
