This is largely unnecessary - if the control signal that was being sent out by the central controller to micromanage each power source was derived from a function of the frequency, phase, voltage etc., then rather than trying to distribute the result of this calculation to millions of devices with low latency, it is better to distribute just the formula (once every few years or as necessary), and run it on a microcontroller in the inverters several times every mains cycle. They already have more than enough processing power.

 I think any reliance on a "central controller" is inherently flawed.
Model the network.  Then, develop a distributed algorithm where
every cogenerator understands its role in generation -- not just that
of dumping power into the network but, also, of constraining the
*overall* network's response.
 I.e., instead of thinking that the cogenerator needs to disconnect
in an anomalous situation, teach it to rectify that situation
within the constraints taht the network model imposes.
