The invention discloses a method for smoothing output power of a wind power station by utilizing an energy storage system. In the method, not only wind power is introduced to predict or rectify the output power of the wind power station, but an improved self-adaptive filtering algorithm is applied. Since the output power of the wind power station is rectified by predicting the wind power, the change rate of the output power of the wind power station is decreased, and the output power of the wind power station can meet standards to inject into a power grid. By employing the self-adaptive filtering algorithm, regarding to the input power in different time, time weight coefficient in an adaptive filtering structure can be automatically calculated according to the input, so that the defect that different input cannot correspond to different filtering time constant by utilizing a low pass filter smoothing method in the past can be overcome. After the smoothing method is employed to smooth the output power of the wind power station, the output voltage of the wind power station is kept stable, fluctuation and flicker of the power grid voltage is reduced, harmonic pollution is reduced and accidents are reduced.

Even when a slave cylinder is operated by driving an electric motor simultaneously with the start of the reduction of regenerative braking force at a time (t3) at which the vehicle speed drops below a shift start vehicle speed and switching from regenerative braking to hydraulic braking is performed, the rise of hydraulic braking force is delayed by the ineffective stroke of the slave cylinder, and therefore a temporary drop in the total braking force of the regenerative braking force and the hydraulic braking force occurs. However, by eliminating the ineffective stroke of the slave cylinder by slightly driving the electric motor in advance at a time (t2) at which the vehicle speed drops below a shift preparation start vehicle speed, the temporary drop in the total braking force of the regenerative braking force and the hydraulic braking force is prevented from occurring at the time of the switching, so that a reduction in brake feeling can be prevented.
