Tell me, why don't we just fill with compressed air the spaces from where we extracted natural gases. With the surplus energy from solar plants and other energy sources.
When air is released, it can power electric turbines.

energy density of P*V sucks especially when hydro storage is cheaper and has better efficiency.

One generates energy
Other stores energy

Hydrostorage stores electricity.

This does work though, there are a few instances of them doing it commercially even a few decades ago before solar and wind got big. The issue is reheating the gas as it expands needs a heat source

Oh shit that's a good point. It heats as you compress it, which in turn leaks into the bedrock so you're losing energy

Basic correction post.

Use compressed air to forcefeed the gas turbine plz. It would ramp it pretty quickly when demand rises.

You mean going from a liquid to a gaseous phase again?

Yes, but you can't build those everywhere, and you can't generate energy everywhere either. It'd be nice to have a storage solution close to the points of generation.

There aren't salt* caves everywhere...
