Using turbine in riot as a penalty (2,11)

'using turbine in riot' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'as a penalty' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'as' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'penalty' could be 'retribution' (retribution is a kind of penalty) and 'retribution' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
