```js
function powerDigitSum(exponent) {
  const bigNum = [1];
  let sum = 0;

  for (let i = 1; i <= exponent; i++) {
    let count = bigNum.length + 1;
    let overflow = 0;
    for (let j = 0; j < count; j++) {
      let digit = bigNum[j] || 0;
      digit = 2 * digit + overflow;

      if (digit > 9) {
        digit -= 10;
        overflow = 1;
      } else {
        overflow = 0;
      }

      bigNum[j] = digit;
    }
  }

  bigNum.forEach(function(num) {
    return sum += num;
  });

  return sum;
}
```
