Abstract
A capacitor is configured to be in thermal contact with an electrical load. A controller is configured to charge and discharge the capacitor to change a temperature of the capacitor. The controller is configured to selectively discharge the capacitor at a discharge current at which entropic cooling of the capacitor is greater than Joule heating of the capacitor to provide cooling for the electrical load.
