Grid-following inverter (GFL) logic operates the inverter as a current source that synchronizes with the existing grid voltage and frequency rather than creating its own. The core control objective is to inject specific active ($P$) and reactive ($Q$) power by modulating the output current vector to match grid setpoints.
And I should have added, it shuts down if the grid power supply stops. So it’s useless in a power failure, but that’s not it’s purpose.
