Abstract: Power electronic systems play a crucial role in modern welding technologies, where high energy efficiency, precise temperature control, and arc stability are essential. This paper examines innovative control methods for such systems, including the use of digital controllers, adaptive control algorithms, artificial intelligence, model predictive control, digital twins, internet of thing, big data and cloud computing. Their performance is analyzed in comparison to classical techniques, along with their integration potential in industrial applications.
