What this part means
A raised number can be a power. When it is a label or bound, it selects a case or the upper limit of a sum; the formula’s structure distinguishes these uses.
Its job in the formula
A raised mark can be a power or an index. Its position and the surrounding notation determine which.

The passage around this formula
The instrumentation baseline for a new site starts with IEEE 519, the North American reference for harmonic control, which frames the problem around the point of common coupling — the interface between the utility and the customer — and assigns the utility responsibility for background voltage distortion while assigning the customer responsibility for the current distortion its own equipment injects [ 7 ] . The standard’s working measure of current distortion, total demand distortion, is the root-sum-square of harmonic currents up to the fiftieth order expressed as a fraction of the maximum demand current rather than of the instantaneous fundamental: . a normalization…

An exponent tells how a base is used in multiplication. In x³, x is the base and 3 is the exponent: x³ = x × x × x.
