Not grid following inverters, or "any DC source", as we saw in Spain in Summer

Nothing to do with the blackout in Spain - https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/what-caused-iberian-... - voltage surge and various thermal power generators failing to provide the voltage correction services they were being paid for

But yes, grid following alone does not provided the required stability - synthetic inertia etc needed

Yes, if you don't install grid stabilization inverters, they don't supply grid stabilization.
