Compressed Air Energy Storage Cabin Facility

Even below this line is a lot of words, actually i just want a topic to play some emission texture rendering.
Green energy is relatively unstable due to the highly dependence on weather condition, such as wind power or solar power, so adopting storage system can save the spare power for the moment when the weather can't provide sufficient real time solar or wind energy.
This is a facility which uses compressed air to store power, providing another way to store energy besides electric battery.
Consider the result after estimation shows how heavy and uneconomical the facility is, electric battery is far more practical. just curious about how far the concept can go. This facility needs solar or wind power to move the conveyor but i didn't put those green power instruments on the diagram.
Required facility size & other conditions estimation :
Assume the energy consumption for one gamer who lives in his room for 1 month needs 720000000 Joule
Ideal gas law : P(pressure) * V(volume) = n(mole number)* R(ideal gas number)* T(temperature)
Kinetic energy P(pressure) * V(volume) = P(pressure)* A(area) * L(length) = F(force)*L(length) = Joule
So the stored energy after compression J(joule) = n(mole number)* R(ideal gas number)* T(temperature) * ln(V1(volume before compression)/V2(volume after compression))
= 720000000joule(the requested energy)
Then we get mole number = 100000 mole, R(ideal gas number) = 8.314joule/(mole*temperature), T(temperature) = 27 degree C,300 degree kelvin, the volume before compression
= 100000 mole * 22.4(liter/mole) = 2240 cubic meter, the volume after compression = one twentieth of the volume before compression = 112 cubic meter
Confirm : 100000*8.314*300*ln(2240/112) = 720000000
To store 720000000 joule we need to compress 2240 cubic meter air to 112 cubic meter.
divide 2240 cubic meter to 25 cabins : 2240/25 = 90 cubic meter = 3m*3m*10m, after compression = 3m*3m*0.5m
Use water pressure to compress every cabin, as 10 meter water pressure = 1 atmosphere. to compress the air volume to one twentieth, we need to sink the cabin to
10*(20-1) = 190 meter deep.
