One interesting technique is they can simulate the inertia of a traditional rotating machine/generator. https://iten.ieee-ies.org/journal-featured-article/2025/grid-forming-inverters-a-comparative-study-of-different-control-strategies-in-frequency-and-time-domains/ https://iten.ieee-ies.org/journal-featured-article/2025/grid...
