I think that all of the power companies feed into the main grid via
the national time standard service. I am sure that it is what they
synchronize (I hope I spelled that one right) the frequency and phase
angle (with some fiddling inserted for transmission line effects $8-{).
Then again, I could be wrong. But, that would be my first choice if
I was stuck with that task. Some of our customers use a receiver/
computer interface to make sure that their transmitter power changes
when the sun sets (ain't AM neat?). Saves major bucks on FCC fines.
