You know of course that the grid frequency is only approximately 60.00 hz.
The short term accuracy of the grid frequency is poor. At any given moment in time will be close to 60Hz but may not be exactly 60Hz. On the other hand it has very good long term accuracy.
Someone shared this series of videos about emulating AC syncing between generators a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT1ySBc-Bls Having watched that particular video, and seeing how out of phase appears as a load to the other system was one of those lightbulb moments for me. As someone who doesn't have any electrical knowledge beyond basic circuitry, I found it worth watching the whole set of videos again. Cheers, Jamon
