1. A container for use in a containerized power flow control system for a power distribution system comprising:
- the container containing at least one FACTS device for deployment on an as needed basis;
at least one insulator for supporting the at least one FACTS device above the container when coupled into the power distribution system;
a lifter for lifting the insulator with the at least one FACTS device thereon to an elevation wherein the at least one FACTS device is disposed in an operative elevation above the container; and
the container and the at least one FACTS device being adapted for coupling the at least one FACTS device into the power distribution system and operating while remaining in or being supported by the container.

Abstract
A containerized power flow control system is described, for attachment to a power transmission line or substation. The system includes at least one container that is transportable by road, rail, sea or air. A plurality of identical impedance injection modules is operable while mounted in the container, wherein each of the modules is configurable to inject a pre-determined power control waveform into the power line.
