Abstract
The increasing global demand for sustainable energy is driving the use of alternative sources such as wind energy, which is clean, abundant, and increasingly efficient. This study assesses the feasibility of wind energy at Manado State Polytechnic by analyzing wind speed, local characteristics, and the power output of a prototype turbine. Results indicate an average wind speed of 2-3 m/s, sufficient for small-scale power generation capable of sustainably supporting campus needs. Educational institutions play a crucial role in adopting renewable energy as a means of innovation and reducing carbon footprints. This study provides practical insights into integrating wind power in a tropical campus environment, while also promoting the development of clean energy technologies and strategies aligned with Indonesia's sustainable development goals.
