A windmill was a large bladed structure used to converts the energy of wind into mechanical energy.

In his conversation with Fleet Admiral Kirsten Clancy about the planned Romulan attack on Coppelius in 2399, retired Admiral Jean-Luc Picard said that the windmills had become giants. (PIC: "Broken Pieces")

Although not specified on screen, Picard's metaphor was presumably a reference to the 17th century novel Don Quijote by Miguel de Cervantes.
In an early script version of Star Trek: First Contact, the city Resurrection City was surrounded by nearly a hundred windmills of various levels of advancement.
