I am an electrical engineer who worked at a nuclear power plant for 36 years. Since I retired, I have been reading as much as I can about the grid and Energy and of course, “Shorting the Grid”. I’ve also been reading about inverter based resources, and the problems they pose on the grid when there’s a fault. The industry now knows that IBR need to be “grid forming”, instead of “grid following”. There are many YouTube videos available if anyone dares to get into how a grid forming inverter works. Bottom line, if they all become grid forming, they should be able to ride through most Grid voltage andfrequency oscillations. IEEE has issued a standard that NERC can require.

It is almost as thought solar and wind are not compatible with the grid as designed and constructed, although I'm sure that's not the case
