    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.

    Abstract: Provided are an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The air conditioner includes a compressor, an accumulator recovering a liquid refrigerant contained in a refrigerant flowing into the compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger performing heat exchange of air using the refrigerant, an outdoor unit fan supplying outside air to the outdoor heat exchanger and discharging heat-exchanged air, a refrigerant charging pipe connected to a refrigerant pipe and allowing the refrigerant to be additionally introduced from the outside, a refrigerant charging valve installed in the refrigerant charging pipe to open and close the refrigerant charging pipe, and a controller setting an operation mode so as to operate in a cooling operation or heating operation upon setting of a refrigerant charging mode, setting an operation frequency of the compressor in accordance with a load of an indoor unit upon the setting of the refrigerant charging mode to allow the compressor to operate at the set operation frequency during the refrigerant charging, and calculating the amount of refrigerant to stop the refrigerant charging when a predetermined reference value is reached.
