<p>The invention discloses a method of predicting the fluid level at a predetermined location in a fluid flow network ( 10 ) having at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ) to control the flow of fluid along fluid flow network ( 10 ). The method includes the steps of collecting data based on timed measurements of fluid levels upstream ( 24, 28 ) of at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ), fluid levels downstream ( 26, 29 ) of at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ) and the opening position ( 30, 32 ) of at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ), and using data analysis ( 40 ) to provide a model based on the data whereby the model will provide prediction of fluid level at the predetermined location based on timed measurements of fluid levels upstream ( 24, 28 ) of at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ) and the opening position ( 30, 32 ) of at least one regulator ( 16, 18 ).</p> |
