BearAK,
Slight thread-drift, I'm thinking this may also be how they get electricity from multiple windmills in a windmill farm? That's something that always bothered me too. Along with, how the heck do they "switch the grid" and maintain phase polarity? But I digress, and that's a discussion waaaaay beyond this one
Yes, also Solar installations, including home solar installs. They send DC to a device (inverter) that has the ability to sync up before it puts out.. and once it's connected assorted things keep it in sync.
I'm not fully up on everything that is going on but during startup it basically senses if there is power and "locks to the phase" how it stays there. I do not know.. But then I've not fully researched it.
