use PowerShell to save file in Visual Studio

Using Powershell from Package Manager Console I can open and close file:
$DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.OpenFile”, $file)
$DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.Close”)
But when I try to save it:
$DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.Save”, $file)
or
$DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.Save”)
I get error:
PM> $DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.Save”) Command "File.Save" is not valid.
At line:1 char:1
+ $DTE.ExecuteCommand(“File.Save”)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (:) , COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
How I can save it?
Actually I want to save it in other encoding:
visual-studio powershell automation character-encoding

The answers from the link above mention Fix File Encoding and editorconfig that remove the need to do it manually.

You can save the file with
$DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.SaveSelectedItems")
There is also
$DTE.ExecuteCommand("File.SaveAll")
If you're doing this only to change the file's encoding however, I would suggest simply running the following PowerShell code that doesn't require $DTE and Visual Studio at all.
$content = Get-Content -Path $file -Encoding String
Set-Content -Value $content -Path $file -Encoding UTF8

yes, it works. But how I can Save As... and choose encoding? I tried to use this PowerShell code (in your answer second part), but it didn't work for me, because I need UTF-8 without signature. But VS works fine if I do it manually.
