List of installations for 15kV AC railway electrification in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Encyclopedia
Germany, Austria and Switzerland operate the largest interconnected 15 kV AC
16.7 Hz system, which has central generation, a special transmission network, central and decentral converter plants. Source.
There is no conversion or generation of power.
At some facilities, power is also fed to the overhead wires. Conversion is made by machines or by electronic means.

15 kV AC
The AC railway electrification system is used in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Norway. The high voltage enables high power transmission with low losses powering traction motors available since the beginning of the 20th century...
16.7 Hz system, which has central generation, a special transmission network, central and decentral converter plants. Source.
Germany
In Germany, the voltage of traction current grid is 110 kV. In the Northeastern parts of Germany there is no traction current grid, as decentralized converter plants situated at the substations are used.Substations
In these facilities electricity is transformed down from 110 kV-level of DB to 15 kV.There is no conversion or generation of power.
