Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling pressure in a supply grid, wherein the supply grid is configured to supply consumers with a fluid and comprises a plurality of first sensors for measuring flow rates and/or pressures of the fluid at a plurality of first locations in the supply grid, and a pump for pumping the fluid or a valve for controlling a flow of the fluid, the method comprising:
training a self-learning system comprising:
measuring the flow rates and/or the pressures of the fluid at the plurality of first locations in the supply grid using the first sensors;
determining a pressure, by the self-learning system, at a second location among a plurality of second locations in the supply grid based on the flow rates and the pressures measured at the plurality of first locations;
determining a difference between the determined pressure and a target value;
adjusting the self-learning system taking into account the determined difference; and
repeating the measuring, the determining of the pressure, the determining of the difference, and the adjusting of the self-learning system until a specified termination criterion is met;

predicting a pressure at the second location among the plurality of second locations in the supply grid using the self-learning system based on the measured flow rates or the pressures of the fluid at the plurality of first locations; and
actuating the pump or the valve based on the predicted pressure at the second location.
