Problem with PMSM motor model in Simulink

Click For Summary
A user is experiencing issues with a PMSM motor model in Simulink, where the motor fails to spin despite applying a step signal from 0 to 300. Although the error signal tracks the input correctly, the motor speed remains unchanged. The user has shared their Simulink file and screenshots of the signals for further analysis. Suggestions include performing signal tracing to identify where the simulation may be malfunctioning. The discussion emphasizes the need for troubleshooting to resolve the motor control issue.

TL;DR
Field-oriented controlled PMSM motor won't spin. Motor speed oscillates initially for 1 second but oscillations die at 0 rad/s and have no idea of why this is happening in simulation
Good afternoon,

I have developed a Vector Control for a PMSM motor in Simulink using Simscape Electrical but my motor is not spinning. I have tried applying various speed values but nothing happens. I am applying a step signal from 0 to 300 but the motor speed still doesn't move. My error signal, however, tracks my input as it should. I do not know what has happened. Could someone look at my simulation and tell me what is going on ? My simulink can be downloaded from my OneDrive and the screenshots of my signals are attached.

Can you show graphs for both voltage and current waveforms at the motor?

Then it is a matter of signal tracing to see where it isn't doing what you think it is!
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
