Nowadays, the power quality requires sophisticated approaches to get an efficient utilization of both: the electrical energy and the electrical installations and equipment. Most of the power quality devices are base on analogical circuits to synchronise the processing stage with both the voltage and the current of the power line. Because the analogue components utilised, these approaches require being precisely tuned and calibrated.  On the other hand, power quality analysis is cover by several standards. These standards define the parameters and measures that have to be satisfied in order to guarantee an adequate power quality. According new parameters or perturbations appear, new standard or modifications can be proposed to adequate them to new necessities. The digital architecture proposed is aim to integrate the synchronization stage and processing unit in a peripherical core compatible with a processor bus. This core can be easily modified to include future power quality standards.
