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 inverters can match the grid, they “listen”and time the ramp and then come in with the ramp of the first phase and then go in sync! I know I build out utility scale solar farms! iirc it’s 15 minutes in between that first ramp and then they come up after!
