This study presents a comprehensive assessment of wind energy potential at the Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) campus by integrating wind resource analysis, turbine performance evaluation, and hybrid system simulation. Historical wind speed data at 10 m height were extrapolated to 20 m hub height using power law and logarithmic profiles to account for surface roughness. Estimated wind power densities ranged from 51.6 W/m² (2020) to 65.9 W/m² (2021), with seasonal peaks during summer and monsoon. The Archimedes AWM 1500D turbine, suitable for moderate wind regimes with a cut-in speed of 3 m/s and rated power of 1 kW, was selected. Applying the turbine's power curve to site-specific wind frequency distributions yielded annual average outputs of 32.6-41.2 W, translating to capacity factors of 5-6%. While insufficient to meet full demand, the turbine can provide supplementary power to campus energy needs
