So you get a clock, monitor the grid, calculate the current that would be drawn from a short-circuited dynamo right now, and get the inverter to generate that current, all within a few microseconds, and without setting the battery on fire? I'm impressed.

Just to add on to this, here's a good talk that goes through the basics of VSGs (Virtual Synchronous Generators) and how they work.
