Advantages of regenerative power cycle over simple ranking cycle.-----
The heating process in the boiler tends to become reversible.
The thermal stresses in the boiler are minimized. This is due to the inlet temperature is increased so that the temperature difference is less in the boiler.
The thermal efficiency is improved because average temperature of heat addition to the cycle is increased.
The Heating rate is reduced.
The LP turbine blade height can be reduced because steam flow at lower stage is reduced.
The steam condenser size can be reduced.
The turbine efficiency increases and damage to the turbine is less.
Disadvantages of regenerative power cycle:
The plant becomes more complicated and cost.
The added heater in the circuit increases the maintenance is required.
For a given power a large capacity of boiler is required.
Hope it helps !!
