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.
