Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating a compressed air station comprising at least one plurality of interconnected compressors, optionally having different technical specifications, and further optional compressed air system devices, which is optionally able to implement control cycles as well as switching strategies by means of an electronic system controller to influence the amount of a pressurized fluid in the compressed air station available at all times to one or more consumers of the compressed air station as well as adaptively adjust the amount of pressurized fluid available at all times to one or more consumers of the compressed air station to the future operating conditions of the compressed air station based on the amount of pressurized fluid withdrawn from the compressed air station, wherein before a switching strategy is initiated, different switching strategies are analyzed in a prior simulation method based on a model of the compressed air station and the comparativ
