1. Background of Energy Transition and Project Progress

Entering 2026, the global energy structure continues to advance towards clean energy, and the collaborative operation mode of photovoltaic power generation and energy storage systems has become an important part of new energy power station construction. Against the backdrop of the integration of power stations and new energy projects, large-scale clean energy projects continue to operate stably and play a role in optimizing regional energy structures.

The restart of the Golmud gas turbine power station in the Qinghai oilfield and its supporting new energy projects have achieved stable grid-connected operation, among which the 1 million kilowatt photovoltaic power station is one of the earlier constructed million-kilowatt gas-electricity supporting new energy projects in the Tibetan Plateau region, and it is also an important practical project of China National Petroleum in the field of new energy power generation.

According to the project design and environmental assessment phase calculations, the annual average grid-connected electricity generation of this photovoltaic system is approximately 198,447.6 million kilowatt-hours, which means that it can save about 598,300 tons of standard coal each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,799,700 tons. This data serves as a core carbon reduction and energy substitution assessment indicator for the project and remains relevant during its continuous operation in 2026.

2. ForndLock Industrial Locks in Energy Storage System Applications

In the context of the continuous large-scale development of the energy storage industry in 2026, the requirements for structural safety, sealing performance, and long-term operational stability of energy storage equipment have further increased, especially in outdoor power stations and high-load operating environments, where higher standards for cabinet structural reliability are demanded.

As a manufacturer of industrial locks, ForndLock provides various types of industrial locking and sealing structure solutions around the structural needs of new energy storage and electrical equipment, including:

• Pull-type locking system structure
• Heavy-duty compression locks and multi-point load-bearing locking components
• Exposed and concealed industrial hinge structures
• Damped hinges and cabinet sealing supporting structural components

The above products are widely used in key equipment structures such as energy storage cabinets, control cabinets, inverter equipment, and PCS power conversion cabinets, providing structural support for the stability of cabinet door locking, vibration resistance, and long-term operational reliability.

In the actual operation of energy storage equipment, the equipment is subjected to temperature changes, continuous vibrations, and complex outdoor environmental conditions for a long time, which raises higher requirements for door closure accuracy and structural sealing performance. ForndLock enhances cabinet closure consistency and mechanical stability through optimized design of industrial locks and hinge systems to meet the engineering-grade energy storage application needs.

3. Industrial Application Scenarios and Engineering Adaptation Directions

ForndLock industrial locks and sealing structure products are mainly suitable for the following industrial application scenarios in 2026:

• Commercial and industrial energy storage system cabinets and equipment enclosures

• Industrial automation control cabinets and electrical cabinet systems
• New energy outdoor protective enclosures and equipment cabin structures

For different application environments, products can be designed for engineering matching according to structural dimensions, installation methods, and load conditions to adapt to the installation and maintenance needs of different energy storage and electrical equipment.

At the same time, ForndLock supports OEM/ODM customization services, providing locking structure matching design, hinge motion structure optimization, and cabinet sealing collaborative solutions for new energy equipment manufacturers to meet diverse engineering application scenarios.

Key Issues in Industrial Applications

1. What are the core requirements for industrial locks in energy storage equipment in 2026?
They mainly reflect long-term operational stability, vibration resistance, and adaptability to complex outdoor environments.

2. Why do photovoltaic and energy storage systems require highly reliable locking structures?
Equipment operates outdoors for long periods, requiring stable cabinet structures and safe protection for internal devices.

3. What is the main role of compression locks in energy storage cabinets?
By continuously applying pressure to the door, sealing performance is improved and vibration resistance is enhanced.

4. What role do industrial hinges play in the structure of energy storage equipment?
They ensure the smooth opening and closing of cabinet doors and affect the overall structural fitting accuracy and stability.

5. Do different energy storage devices require different locking solutions?
Yes, structural selection matching should be based on equipment size, weight, and usage frequency.

6. What effects do outdoor environments have on lock performance?
Temperature differences, humidity, and vibration environments can affect the lifespan of structural components, so corrosion resistance and reinforced designs are needed.

7. Is there support for customized locking solutions for energy storage equipment structures?
Yes, matching design for locking systems and hinges can be provided based on cabinet structures.
