The compressed air energy storage thermal power generation method using salt cavern geothermal according to claim 6, characterized by, The geothermal resource utilization process includes: opening the first control valve and the second control valve, the high-pressure air in the well placed in the top layer of the salt cavity passes through the heat exchanger to transfer heat to the circulating water path, and then passes through the booster to pressurize the high-pressure air, and the high-pressure air in the well placed in the brine layer enters the high-pressure air storage cavity of the salt cavern gas storage device, to realize brine and storage cavity boundary heat exchange for absorbing and storing heat; the hot circulating water in the circulating water path heats the organic working medium at normal pressure through the evaporator, and the organic working medium is pressurized and heated by the organic working medium compressor to obtain high-temperature and high-pressure heat, and the high-temperature heat is released through the condenser to provide heat for the city heating pipe network, and the organic working medium is released to normal pressure through the expansion valve; the process of heat absorption, pressure increase, energy release and pressure release of the organic working medium is repeated through the circulating water path.
