Which type/types of power generation involve maximum number of steps of energy conversion? In which power generation is the number minimum?

Thermal (Nuclear) power plants involve maximum number of steps for power generation. They are:
Thermal Energy ⟶ Kinetic Energy in Steam ⟶ Kinetic Energy in the Turbine ⟶ Electrical Energy

On the other hand, the number of steps are minimum in wind-turbine. They are:
Kinetic Energy in the wind ⟶ Kinetic Energy in the Turbine ⟶ Electrical Energy
