The potential energy in the head of water is converted into kinetic energy in the turbine which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Potential Energy of water -> Kinetic Energy -> Electrical Energy

In energy transformations, energy is converted from one form to another. For example, in a power plant, chemical energy in fuel is transformed into electrical energy. The output of energy transformation can include heat, light, sound, motion, or electricity.
In a coal-fired power plant, potential energy stored in coal is converted into thermal energy through combustion. This thermal energy is used to heat water and produce steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator. As the turbine spins, mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which is then transmitted for use.
Energy gets from the power plant to customers via the power grid (high voltage power lines).Transmission lines that generally operate at high voltages are responsible for long distance delivery of electricity. Substations step the voltage down to deliver it locally, and Transformers further step down the voltage to deliver it to the customer.Note: There are no energy transformations invloved in this process. The power plant (whatever kind it might be) produces electricity (electromagnetic energy), and this is delivered to a user via the power grid. For energy transformation in power plants, refer to those specific questions.
It goes from solar to chemical, if you want a short easy way to figure this out just think what goes in and what comes out.
Chemical > Thermal > Kinetic > Electrical
The diagram shows the energy transformations from sunlight to chemical energy in plants through photosynthesis. Sunlight energy is converted to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis in plants. This chemical energy can then be stored in the form of glucose and used by the plant for growth and other metabolic processes.

The energy transformations for a paper shredder involve electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy to power the shredding blades. The mechanical energy is then used to cut and shred the paper, resulting in kinetic and thermal energy as the paper particles are produced and any heat generated from the process.

There are no tidal wave power stations.Tidal waves are unpredictable. There is no way at present to capture their energy. We can capture the energy of tides and also of waves, but not of tidal waves.
In most energy transformations, part of the energy is wasted. Much of the wasted energy is usually converted to heat.
