Abstract: A method of controlling a fuel supply network, the method comprising: defining a directed acyclic graph comprising a set of fuel pathways; defining a set of reportable fuel pathways as a set of linear equations, the set of reportable fuel pathways comprising a subset of the set of fuel pathways; solving the set of linear equations to determine designated pathway quantities for the set of reportable fuel pathways; determining one or more throughput setpoint values for one or more edges in the directed acyclic graph based on the designated pathway quantities for one or more reportable fuel pathways associated with said one or more edges; controlling one or more control elements of the processes associated with the one or more edges based on the determined throughput setpoint values for the respective one or more edges.
