1. A method of operating a thermoelectric module, comprising:

  • determining, by a controller, a first amount of power that would maximize a coefficient of performance of the thermoelectric module based on one or more system parameters;

    providing, by the controller, the first amount of power to the thermoelectric module;

    determining, by the controller, that at least one of the one or more system parameters has changed;

    determining, by the controller, a second amount of power that would maximize the coefficient of performance of the thermoelectric module based on the one or more system parameters; and

    providing, by the controller, the second amount of power to the thermoelectric module.
