Via symbolic computation we deduce 97 new type series for powers of $\pi$ related to Ramanujan-type series. Here are three typical examples: $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{P(k) \binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k \binom{6k}{3k}}{(k+1)(2k-1)(6k-1)(-640320)^{3k}} =\frac{18\times557403^3\sqrt{10005}}{5\pi}$$ with \begin{align*}P(k) = &637379600041024803108 k^2 + 657229991696087780968 k \\&+ 19850391655004126179, \end{align*} $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(3k+1)16^k}{(2k+1)^2k^3\binom{2k}k^3} = \frac{\pi^2-8}2,$$ and $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{3n+1}{(-100)^n} \sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}^2T_k(1,25)T_{n-k}(1,25) = \frac{25}{8\pi},$$ where the generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_k(b,c)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^k$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c)^k$. We also formulate a general characterization of rational Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ via congruences, and pose 117 new conjectural series for powers of $\pi$ via looking for corresponding congruences. For example, we conjecture that $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{39480k+7321}{(-29700)^k}T_k(14,1)T_k(11,-11)^2=\frac{6795\sqrt5}{\pi}.$$ Eighteen of the new series in this paper involve some imaginary quadratic fields with class number $8$.
