The short answer is: It's illegal.
Almost universally, the power grid is the property of the power company, and is regulated by the utility. It is illegal to connect a generating device to the power grid without the express approval of the utility. It is highly unlikely that anyone needing to lookup the answer here could ever attain such approval. Any installations that are approved for power grid connection are connected by qualified electricians that have been certified for the connection of generating equipment by the utility.
To answer the more general question of how generators become synchronized, small generators are basically forced into synchronization by the large generators on the grid. All generators connected to the same grid also utilize throttling devices to adjust their frequency and phase to properly match the grid, so that they are not a constant strain on the grid. Large generators are synced before being connected to the grid.

When current flows into the grid it is called?
When current flows into the grid, it is referred to as "injection" or "power injection." This occurs when energy, typically generated from renewable sources like solar or wind, is fed into the electrical grid, contributing to the overall power supply. This process is essential for maintaining grid stability and ensuring that electricity is available for consumption.
How is solar power returned to the grid?
Solar power is provided to the grid whenever the available solar power exceeds local consumption. Energy produced by small arrays helps satisfy the energy needs of neighborhoods -- and this locally produced and consumed energy relieves the grid from having to transport the energy there in the first place.
What is the role of reactive power in a power system?
To supply the reactive power demand of load and to regulate of output volage at the grid
What are the applications of alternators?

How can you use grid in a sentence?
The introduction of a solar power plant helped me to get off of the electric power grid permanently. This grid is rectangular, not square.
Is there any diesel generator which starts automatically when power fails?

What countries do have an isolated power grid (islanded power system) and what are the names of these power grids?
Ireland has an isolated power grid, so does Great Britain.
What does a grid do?
Transmission of power occurs through the power distribution grid. The latest technology that is used in power distribution is the 'smart grid'. It is nothing but digital technology which helps to assess the amount of power consumed and required in the future.
How does national grid make electricity?
The North American national grid does not make the electricity. The grid is a distribution system that transports power throughout the system to homes that are connected to it. The power for the grid is produced elsewhere at generating stations that feed into the grid.
How much power does a power grid carry?
It depands upon the current load demand and the desine capacity of the grid.
When was China Southern Power Grid Company created?
China Southern Power Grid Company was created in 2002.
