1. A method for pressure control in a supply network for supplying consumers with a medium, wherein the supply network has at least one pump for pumping the medium and/or at least one valve for controlling a medium flow, comprising the following steps:
- a) determining at least one consumption profile for the respective consumer that consumes the medium transported in the supply network;
b) determining data describing pressure and/or flow profiles in the supply network on a basis of the consumption profiles;
c) reducing the data into a reduced data;
d) detecting at least one first pressure and/or flow value at at least one first point in the supply network, by a sensor interface signal-connected to at least one of;
at least one pressure sensor and at least one flow sensor, positioned within the supply network;
e) reconstructing at least one second pressure and/or flow value at at least one second point in the supply network from the reduced data by means of the at least one first pressure and/or flow value; and
f) actuating the at least one pump and/or the at least one valve on a basis of the at least one first pressure and/or flow value and the at least one second pressure and/or flow value.

Abstract
A supply network for supplying consumers with a medium is provided. Based on a reduction of data and a subsequent reconstruction of at least one pressure and/or flow value, the state at least at one further location in the supply network can be determined without having to be measured. An improved actuation of the at least one pump and/or of the at least one valve is thus possible. A device for pressure control in a supply network is also provided.
