You can use this code, which I personally just tested.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create();
    ps.AddScript(@"c:\test\test.ps1").AddParameter("param1", "paramvalue1");
    ps.Invoke();
}

Here is my test script, located in c:\test\test.ps1.

[CmdletBinding()]
param (
    [string] $param1
)
Set-Content -Path $PSScriptRoot\test.txt -Value $param1;

FYI, make sure that you launch 32-bit (x86) PowerShell, and set the execution policy to Unrestricted. Visual Studio is a 32-bit process, and invokes the 32-bit PowerShell engine by default.
