I think there is a loss due to Coss(esr) when zvs.
Is there a way to find the loss?

I assume you you are referring to Coss ESR, as you can see in the figure11 current is constant during Coss charging, here ploss would be I^2*ESR. but for this ESR information should be known. however ESR in this case does not remains constant and changes wrt temp, frequency, Vds max,
alternatively the best method is you can simulate in Ltspice your application and calculate it from there the loss during turn off or turn on across the FET even after ZVS implemented.
thanks.

Hi
average loss due to coss can be calculated as 0.5*Coss*Vds*Vds*fsw
fsw - switching freq
vds - drain to source voltage

> 0.5*Coss*Vds*Vds*fsw
Isn't it a loss in hard switching?
Figure 11 Simplified EOSS recycling mechanism in soft switching
Eoss is a not loss in soft switching
I would like to know the loss due to Esr during soft switching.
