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.
