Eli5: how will a power grid that is mostly powered by many non synchronous renewable generators (solar and wind etc) remain stable, when the stability of the grid is currently reliant on the collective inertia of the large scale base load generators of fossil fuel and nuclear power plants?

The power market provides a monetary incentive for some participants to operate special pieces of equipment that provide something called “frequency response services”. Those participants are effectively paid to help keep everything synchronous.
