Abstract: A low voltage charging control and protection circuit for an electronic cigarette is provided. The circuit includes an extended charging circuit configured to charge a battery of the electronic cigarette at a first voltage. The circuit also includes a charging integrated circuit configured to charge the battery of the electronic cigarette at a second voltage. The first voltage is lower than the second voltage. The circuit further includes a microcontroller configured to control the extended charging circuit and the charging integrated circuit to alternately charge the battery of the electronic cigarette based on a high or low level of a voltage of the battery.

Abstract: A method to simulate a circuit includes receiving at least one circuit requirement and at least one Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) parameter; determining an operating mode and switching states of an arm circuit; determining each capacitor current based on the switching states and an arm current; determining capacitor voltage and arm voltage; and generating an equivalent circuit model to simulate MMC-based HVDC systems and DC grids in a hybrid AC and DC power system.

Abstract: A method of power system preventive control candidate measures identification self-adaptive to external environment, which is applicable to dynamic identification of stations and power equipment under the effect of calamity, and judgment of preventive control measures that lose or restore control capability, and those for which control range or cost has changed. Automatic online identification of set of preventive control candidate measures includes two tasks: identification of stations and power equipment under the effect of calamity, and adjustment of the space of preventive control measures.
