An incomplete list of ways to convert one type of energy into another:

chemical can be burned to make thermal

thermal can be used to heat steam to make pressure to drive engines / turbines / generators for motion or electricity

electricity can be made into thermal (resistors), run light-bulbs (light is energy), it can also drive chemical reactions (electrolysis) to make chemical energy

light can be made into electricity (solar cell), used as thermal energy, used in chemical reactions (photo-chemical processes, like photosynthesis)

nuclear energy can be used to make thermal

wind to move sailing ships (kinetic energy) or turbines (electricity).

Feel free to add more to the list.

how mechanical energy converted to electricity?

Well, electricity energy is an energy source. Mechanical energy is the energy of potential energy and kinetic energy. A machine that runs on electricity and uses mechanical energy as a result is the conversion. When energy is converted, a small part is converted into thermal energy, or heat energy. Electricity is also a type of potential energy, because it is stored energy.

What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?

If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
