Since there is energy in lightning, this should be possible in theory. However, I haven't read about any project or proposal to get useful power from lightning. Perhaps you can invent something.

Yes,it is possible.....but for such kind of energy storage,we need a power plant...it'll be same as that of electricity.it is to be noted that the voltage of thunder storm is much more greater.hence,we newd to have a very large size of transformer which can regulate that much voltage.

No and it's dangerous to try to use it as the voltage, current and timing are all unpredictable.

Where does the wave trappers present in a switch yard?

The wave trappers are used to control the frequency of of the power supply from transmission lines.. for example in India we need 50 Hz supply, but from the supply lines we will receive the supply in (say) 54Hz. In order to obtain 50 Hz, wave trappers are used in sub-stations or in switch yards.. hence the wave trappers are located initially in-between the lightning-arrester and the current transformer in the primary side as shown below: power supply - lightning arrester - wave trapper - current transformer - ......-primary of the transformer
