Either or both these converters may be

Electrical energy generation

Electricity can be generated close to where it is consumed, for example via solar panels on a roof, small wind turbines or micro-hydro installations. In most cases, however, electricity is still generated from large power plants situated at some distance from end-users and is delivered by a conventional transmission and distribution network.
