Zero Emission Drilling Rig

Fully Electric Woltman 90DRe

With a focus on Dieseko Group's strategy of supplying zero emission equipment, Woltman developed an electric drive, control and power supply for its first Electric Drilling Rig. This design was made in close partnership with industry experts and BAM Infra. The Woltman 90DRe has both electric manoeuvring and crane functions, and is thus 100% electrically powered. This makes the 90DRe the only 100% emission-free Drilling Rig for power up to 600 kW.

The Woltman 90DRe is the first zero-emission Drilling Rig in its class for building sites with the most stringent emission regulations.

This drilling rig was developed after intensive market research, with electrification based on capacity demand as the starting point. The varying energy requirements of different projects has been optimized by using two electric PM-motors, in combination with two battery units. As a result, the Woltman 90DRe is energy efficient and extremely powerful when needed.

About the RIG

With a focus on Dieseko Group’s strategy of supplying zero emission equipment and in consultation with users and market-leading parties, Woltman developed an electric drive, control and power supply for its first electric powered Drilling Rig. The 90DRe is 100% electrically powered. With its electric-hydraulic power management this 613kW Drilling Rig is 100% emission-free.

Battery Capacity

Woltman investigated the required battery capacity based on logged data at construction sites. The result is a profile with 600kW power and 1.200kWh battery capacity. This capacity is more than sufficient for a full working day. Possible grid connection is only necessary during the heaviest working conditions, for charging in idle time, and to supply peak power. Otherwise, overnight charging should be sufficient for a new working day.

FAQs

What distinguishes the Woltman e-rig from competitors?

Both manoeuvring and the crane functions are electric. The 90DRe is, therefore, 100% electrically powered. This makes the 90DRe the only 100% emission-free drilling rig for power up to 600 kW.

What does the electrical configuration look like?

The 90DRe has a smaller PM motor to power the undercarriage and winches. A heavier second PM motor is switched on, for example, during drilling activities requiring high-power. As a result, the machine has a very high energy efficiency.

Why does the Woltman have two battery packs?

The crane has a built-in battery pack of 200 kWh and a separate battery pack on the back of the crane of 1 MWh. The built-in battery allows the crane to trailer and erect the mast autonomously. The larger second battery pack provides power for production and is also a counterweight. The thermal architecture allows for fast and safe charging and ensures endurance in all conditions.

How long does the Rig run on one battery charge?

Woltman investigated the average power used in a working day by looking at logged measurements from construction sites. Based on this data, the required capacity was determined. The starting point for an “average workday” includes outputs of up to 400 kW and production of eight piles. The available battery charge in the 90DRe is more than sufficient to cover this. Grid connection is only necessary for much heavier work, to charge in idle time, and also to be able to supply extra power at peak powers. Charging overnight provides sufficient energy for a new working day.

Why are there still hydraulic attachments on an e-Rig?

These hydraulic attachments are included to still allow the customer to exchange attachments if desired and keeps the 90DRe multifunctional. Just like with a normal 90DR, the customer retains the option to use the machine for multiple purposes, such as for drilling, pile driving and vibrating.

Woltman is currently developing an electric RH-45-HS rotary head. With these new attachments the large PM motor in the 90DRe could be omitted.

What are CO2 emission savings?

One litre of diesel produces 2.6 kilos of CO2. Compared to this, savings can amount to 80,000 kilos of CO2 per year.
