1. A platform for transport and deployment of power flow control equipment, the platform comprising:
a wheeled vehicle;
a plurality of power flow control modules, each comprising at least one impedance injection module to inject reactive power into a power line or at least one fault current bypass module to bypass fault currents of the power line, removably connected to a frame and carried by the wheeled vehicle, at least one of the power flow control modules preconfigured for deployment and including insulating posts for isolating the at least one power flow control module from ground in a deployment mode; and
standardized clamps for connecting one or more of the power flow control modules in a deployed configuration.
