Apparatus and method for configuring network of factory energy management system

An apparatus for configuring a network of an FEMS, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory including computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions,
• wherein, when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is configured to perform the following operations:
• an operation of receiving a parameter set for configuration of the network;
• an operation of generating a diagram based on a characteristic for the parameter of each of the communication schemes available for configuration of the network;
• an operation of determining, based on the diagram, a communication characteristic matrix including a characteristic value representing the characteristic for the parameter of each of the communication schemes;
• an operation of determining a correlation matrix representing a weight for the parameter in each process to be managed by the FEMS;
• an operation of deriving a communication adaptability matrix by applying the weight corresponding to the parameter for each process of the correlation matrix to the characteristic value for the parameter of each of the communication schemes included in the communication characteristic matrix;
• and
• an operation of determining a communication scheme to be applied for each process from among the communication schemes using the communication adaptability matrix.
