High pressure (HP) and Low pressure (LP) bypass systems are used for quick start-up of the unit as well as during trip-out, where load rejection at the turbine does not automatically lead to a boiler trip. With a bypass system, start-up is quicker. The system diverts the steam generated by the boiler to the Re-heater/Condenser, at the same time reducing the pressure and temperature of steam, thus maintaining a minimum circulation of steam through the boiler. This enables running the boiler without the turbine in service, ensuring flow through re-heater coils.
HP-LP bypass system has the following advantages :-
1.The prolonged venting of safety valves to atmosphere is avoided, thereby reducing DM water loss and cutting noise emission.
2.Sustained flow through the boiler heating surfaces is assured, ensuring Re-heater protection during start-up of units.
3.If the grid cannot accept power, the unit can be kept running on house load.

In regenerative cycle LP/HP heaters are used to raise condensate/feed water temperature by extracting/bleed steam from LP and Hp stages of steam turbine in order to improve the efficiency of the plant
Sorry - that's asking how to perform an illegal act - and will not be answered here.
Yes. BS 6651 has been replaced by BS EN 62305.
