Immigration Life in Ireland: The Whitegate Power Plant located in County Cork, Ireland, has recently become the first power generation company in the world to install the "Reliability Excellence" software from General Electric (GE), providing electricity services to nearly 10% of households across Ireland.

The Irish government will introduce more regulations to promote renewable energy production in 2017, imposing higher requirements on Whitegate and other domestic power plants—ensuring safe and reliable power supply while being able to adjust power generation as needed. Whitegate's parent company, Bord Gáis Energy, has signed a 12-year service agreement with General Electric, which is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Whitegate power plant. The "Reliability Excellence" software, based on the GE Predix enterprise platform, provides advanced software solutions for industrial-grade data analytics and can issue alerts for operational issues, detecting them before any anomalies escalate into serious problems, including changes in combustion dynamics and parts aging.
