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.

First of all, I believe that you have the question a bit wrong. I think that what you want to ask is "What type of energy is in wind" rather than what type of energy is stored in wind. Wind would be kinectic energy which means "energy in motion".
