7. The method for equalizing electric energy of the all-vanadium redox flow battery ACDC type equalization system according to claim 6, characterized in that: The method for charging the battery subsystem to be charged as described in step S5 is S4151: The system controls the ACDC equalizer (1) to output a voltage equal to the current voltage value of the battery subsystem A, and then controls the PDU power distribution unit (2) to close its corresponding switching switches KpA and KnA; S4152: The ACDC equalizer (1) switches to the power mode to charge the battery subsystem A. When SOC_max - SOC_min < Y% in the battery subsystem, the charging is completed, the positive and negative switching switches KpA and KnA are disconnected, and then the ACDC equalizer (1) switches to the control voltage mode and returns to step S4.

8. The method for equalizing electric energy of the all-vanadium redox flow battery ACDC type equalization system according to claim 6, characterized in that: The method for discharging the battery subsystem to be discharged as described in step S5 is S4251: The system controls the PDU power distribution unit (2) to close its corresponding switching switches KpB and KnB; S4252: The ACDC equalizer (1) switches to the power mode to discharge from the battery subsystem B to the AC power grid. When SOC_max - SOC_min < Y% in the redox flow battery subsystem, the discharging is completed, the positive and negative switching switches KpB and KnB are disconnected, and then the ACDC equalizer (1) switches to the control voltage mode and returns to step S4.
