My IGBT's can handle 60KHz. Model FF600R12ME4, but that would require some beefy gate drivers pumping out 20-30 Amps peak current.

ZVS would avoid the need for the SiC rectifier altogether and would allow a small (inductance) inductor to be used. After all we are looking for discontinuous.

I have some literature for fly-back ZVS and thyristor forced commutation that I may look at. These would be a good starting point. One just needs to calculate the LC resonant frequency.
