Construction of new energy-oriented power systems motivates the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy systems and the realization of the dual carbon target of China. However,the high-penetration renewable energy may bring the secure operation of power systems great challenges, including insufficient peak regulation capability,intense local congestions and the decline in power system inertia. The natural endowments and the power systems in the UK are similar to that in some typical provinces in China. The UK has been a pioneer in tackling the side effects of the high penetration of renewable energy. Therefore,the experience of the UK can provide valuable suggestions for the development of new power systems in China. Firstly, the transformation process of the power systems in the UK on both supply and demand sides and the transformation goals in terms of carbon emission,energy consumption and energy systems are introduced. The advanced practices of the UK in dealing with renewable energy penetration include the guidance of policies and laws,the construction of fundamental infrastructures,the reform of the electricity market mechanism,the digitalization of power transmission and distribution systems,the application of edging technologies and equipment and the operating adjustment for the power systems. The experience of the UK's new power system construction is summarized and divided into five aspects: developing the low-carbon resources according to local conditions, adjusting policies and regulations in line with cutting-edge technologies, making a flexible, fair, unified and open market mechanism, advancing the application of new technologies and digital transformation and facilitating system upgrades and operation adjustment. Taking the power grid of Jiangsu Province as the example,the inspiration for the development of provincial power systems in China from the UK's experience is expounded.
