Sustainable Kitchens: Smart Induction Stoves for Fighting Climate Change with Sam D’Amico

Hardware to Save a Planet · 7 Nov 2024 · 53m · Episode 65

What this episode covers

Sam D’Amico, Founder and CEO of Impulse, explains how his company is launching a smart induction stove with a 3 kilowatt-hour integrated battery to accelerate home electrification and grid stability. He details the engineering challenges of building a full-stack system—including custom temperature sensors and high-power inverters—to create a product that outperforms gas stoves on speed and precision. D’Amico describes a multi-layered strategy for leveraging this distributed storage, ranging from behind-the-meter energy optimization to participation in Virtual Power Plant programs that aggregate capacity for utilities.

    The pace of home electrification

    Stephen Pantano, head of market transformation at Rewiring America, discusses the organization's Pace of Progress report, which outlines the gap between current adoption rates of home electrification technologies and the targets needed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. He details the specific shortfalls in heat pump, heat pump water heater, and induction stove sales, noting that while heat pump sales are growing as a share of a shrinking HVAC market, significant acceleration is required. Pantano highlights the role of the Inflation Innovation Act's $9.5 billion in rebates and emerging product innovations, such as 120-volt plug-in water heaters and induction stoves with battery backup, in closing these gaps.

    Could VPPs save rooftop solar?

    Jigar Shah, director of the Department of Energy’s Loans Programs Office, argues that the U.S. rooftop solar market must pivot from selling 'dumb solar' to offering dispatchable capacity via Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to survive regulatory shifts like California’s NEM 3.0. He explains that while battery attachment rates are surging, utilities lack transparent compensation mechanisms for system-level dispatchability, creating a mismatch between homeowner incentives and grid needs. Shah emphasizes that aggregating distributed energy resources—such as batteries, thermostats, and EV chargers—can significantly increase the utilization of existing distribution infrastructure, delaying costly upgrades and managing load growth from data centers and electrification.
