Is that same functionality available in solar or wind type scenarios?
When I heard the Spain issue being described by a grid engineer, they were focusing on the lack of rotational mass in those systems compared to the large turbines used in other generator designs as the reason solar could go out of phase more easily. What you're describing sounds like that scenario, hydro has large enough rotational mass to keep things stable.
