What does ‘efficiency’ mean in terms of energy converters?

In terms of energy converters, efficiency most commonly refers to how much power was lost in the conversion from steam to heat, or from outlet to shone charger. Some systems 'leak' energy, meaning more energy is going out one way than going in the other. The energy source transfers more power than the energy recipient receives. The more efficient the converter, the less power is lost.
