Effectiveness-weighted control of cooling system components

A method comprising:

• providing a cooling system comprising multiple different cooling components, the multiple different cooling components being separately adjustable, and the cooling system being provided to cool an electronic system;
• providing a controller for the cooling system, the controller:
• automatically determining control settings for the multiple different cooling components of the cooling system, the automatically determining control settings being based, at least in part, on respective values of weighted cooling effectiveness of the multiple different cooling components of the cooling system, at least two cooling components of the multiple different cooling components having different respective values of weighted cooling effectiveness, and the automatically determining control settings providing determined control settings;
• and
• wherein the automatically determining control settings operates to limit power consumption of at least the cooling system, while ensuring that a target temperature associated with at least one of the cooling system or the electronic system is within a desired range by provisioning, based at least in part on the respective values of weighted cooling effectiveness, a desired target temperature change among the multiple different cooling components, the provisioning including provisioning applied power to the multiple different cooling components via, at least in part, the determined control settings.
