Wind energy is storable in all the same ways that other forms of energy can be stored, but energy storage is not a significant requirement for wind energy.
Grid storage mechanisms include pumped hydro (putting water back behind dams), large battery arrays, large flywheels and conversion to hydrogen for later use in fuel cells. All of these and more are in use in various places in the world and in various degrees.
However, they are almost never associated with specific wind farms. Wind farms are attached to broadly interconnected energy grids. Wind farms put energy into the grid in one place, but it may be used hundreds of kilometres away, just as with every other form of electrical generation. As such, grid operators such as Ontario's IESO or Brazil's ONS manage all forms of generation and demand across the large grid. They balance need against supply constantly. Storage is just another tool in their toolbox to achieve a stable grid with sufficient energy at any time to meet supply.

Were is wind energy stored and converted into usable energy?
The wind energy cannot be stored.
How is wind energy created stored and changed?
wind is created
Where does wind up toys get energy from?
The energy is provided by your muscles, and stored in a spring.The energy is provided by your muscles, and stored in a spring.The energy is provided by your muscles, and stored in a spring.The energy is provided by your muscles, and stored in a spring.
Where does the energy stored in wind and waves come from?
it comes from the sun
How is energy stored in a wind up watch?
in a summer day
Were is wind energy stored and converted into usable energy?
The wind energy cannot be stored.
What energy is stored in the wind?
Kinetic
How is wind energy created stored and changed?
wind is created
How is wind energy stored once it is recovered?
Wind energy can't be stored, that's one of the drawbacks with it. It has to be used, or converted to another energy form immediately.
Can energy be stored and released?
Yes, energy can be stored in many forms and released again.
How is stored chemical energy released?
It is stored in bonds and released in energy. Energy is needed to break the chemical bonds, and energy is released when bonds are broken.
How is wind energy stored for later used?
In a windmill
In what form the energy in wind is stored?
kinetic and termic

What is the form in which energy is stored in wind?
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".
What thing gets burned and the stored energy is released?
Burning is the release of stored energy. So when any item burns some or all of its stored energy is released.
Where is the energy stored in a wind-up toy?
Whatever winds the tool up - usually energy stored in your muscles.
