Abstract

Disclosed are a method for controlling an air conditioner, an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining uncontrollable operating parameters of the air conditioner; predicting, based on the uncontrollable operating parameters, the operating energy efficiency and/or output capacity corresponding to each parameter combination of controllable operating parameters of the air conditioner; determining a target operating parameter combination that meets the target operating energy efficiency and/or output capacity; and controlling the air conditioner to operate according to the target operating parameter combination.
