Abstract: An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: an outdoor unit including a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; at least one indoor unit; a storage for storing a previously learned control algorithm in relation to control of a component included in the air conditioner; and a controller, wherein when the operation mode of the air conditioner is set to the first mode, the controller controls at least one of the outdoor unit and the at least one indoor unit regardless of the control algorithm, and on the basis of the first data acquired while the mode is set, an power quantity learning model related to the actual power quantity consumed by the air conditioner while the first mode is set is learned, and the operation mode of the air conditioner is set to the second mode. In the case of controlling at least one of the outdoor unit and the at least one indoor unit based on the control algorithm, second data acquired while the second mode is set and corresponding to the second mode based on the power quantity learning model. The estimated power quantity and the actual power quantity consumed by the air conditioner while the second mode is set may be calculated, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes: an outdoor unit having therein a compressor for compressing refrigerant; at least one indoor unit; a storage configured to store a database on a power quantity used by the air conditioner; and a controller. The controller is configured to: based on the database, calculate an estimated power quantity expected to be used by the air conditioner for at least a part of an entire period, based on a preset maximum power quantity for the entire period and the calculated estimated power quantity, determine a target power quantity for a specific unit time, which is expected to be used by the air conditioner for the specific unit time of the entire period; control the compressor for the specific unit time based on the target power quantity; and in response to arrival of a point in time to update the target power quantity, add, to the database, the power quantity used by the air conditioner for the specific unit time.
