Wind energy for the grid can not be stored. It must be used instantly or the power is wasted. Small D.C. systems are far more logical and workable. They can supply power to a battery which is later returned to the system.

How do you conserve wind energy?
Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).
Were is wind energy stored and converted into usable energy?
The wind energy cannot be stored.
How is wind energy stored?
Obviously, it isn't. You can't store the wind's energy. If you mean storing energy extracted from the wind and converted to electricity by a generator rotated by a wind-turbine, then that's a different matter. Electricity can only be stored as d.c. in batteries. Therefore, the generator either has to be a d.c. machine, or alternator feeding a.c. to a rectifier and stabiliser. For use though, that stored d.c. would need converting back to a.c. So whilst it's possible, it is not very efficient.
How is wind energy havested?
Wind energy is harvested by a windmill. It is also called a turbine. Windmills have been connected to machinery to grind grain or pump water. They are also connected to electric generators. The electricity is sent to a grid. Sometimes the electricity is used as it is produced. If a hydroelectric dam is nearby, the electricity can be used to back pump water and then hydroelectric energy is available when it is needed. That way wind energy is stored.
What does wind energy do?
Wind energy spins turbines producing electricity.

Does wind store well?
The energy of the wind cannot be stored directly. It is usually used to generate electricity, which can be stored in a rechargeable battery or via pumped storage systems.

The wind energy cannot be stored.
How could you use a renewable energy source?
Renewable energy sources can be use by converting them into the electricity with certain device. for examples, you can convert wind power into electricity by using windmill/wind turbine or sun energy by using solar panel/solar cells and store them in a battery. The stored electricity can be use later on. The power stored from these renewable energy can provide enough electricity for your entire house.

One problem with wind energy as a major source of electricity is?
The problem with wind energy is that it does not produce much electricity. Wind does not flow at all places. So having wind energy as a major source of electricity is not a option.
Electricity can be stored?
batteries store energy by switching the electricity into chemical energy and then back again when needed, atoms store electricity in their electron shells.
What does wind energy do?
Wind energy spins turbines producing electricity.
Where the wind energy source is found and how it is recovered?
Wind energy is recovered by changing wind energy to electricity
How does wind electricity work?
The wind electricity work because of the wind mill, wind mill makes wind energy.
Is the wind energy same as wind turbine?
Wind energy is converted into electricity by spinning wind turbine. Any electric motor that is powered by electricity will generate electricity if you spin it yourself very fast.
