The production scheduling and flexibility provision analysis are of great importance for industrial facilities to provide support for the main power grid. This study proposes a comprehensive scheduling model for an industrial pulp and paper (P&P) mill that considers the flexibility provision from steam power generation. In this model, the internal relationships between the production and consumption of electricity, steam, and pulp in the operational processes of the P&P mill are investigated. Meanwhile, the available flexibility of steam power generation is quantified and further enhanced for participation in the manual frequency restoration reserve (MFRR) market. Furthermore, a robust scheduling model that uses support vector clustering (SVC) technology is proposed to assess the impact of uncertainties in steam temperature and pressure on the available flexibility of steam power generation, thereby reducing the probability of failing to provide the contracted flexibility for MFRR. Simulation results demonstrate that the comprehensive scheduling model significantly increases the available flexibility of steam power generation for MFRR, resulting in a daily revenue increase of $1839.8.
